Sneaky seagull ‘pushing his luck’ caught on CCTV shoplifting for the second time

A sneaky seagull has been caught on camera stealing a croissant from a convenience shop. The CCTV footage from Late Stop 24 shop shows the mischievous gull walking purposefully into the store before snatching the pastry packet and making a run for it through the shop’s front door.

The newsagent was something of a target for local seagulls last week with the incident being the second gull-related theft to have happened at the shop last Wednesday. Following two thefts within the space of 24 hours, the shop owners appealed for information, saying that the shifty bird is “pushing his luck”.

Along with the CCTV footage, the Bangor shop posted: “Do you recognise this thief? Caught on camera twice [on Wednesday] stealing from the premises, he’s pushing his luck... Somebody out there must recognise him... We have already been given the name Steven, but could be just a relation. Any info appreciated.”

Bangor is not the only place in North Wales that has experienced issues with unruly seagulls of late. Last week, a resident from Llanfairpwll said that village residents are “living in fear” following a spate of seagull “attacks” over the summer.

Mr Gareth Parry was dissatisfied with the Council’s response to the issue and told North Wales Live : “If I could, I’d send my council tax to the seagulls because they own this village now.”
