An unidentified man, who is suspected to be a police officer, because of the uniform he was wearing, has been caught on camera committing a serious crime.

The man was captured on CCTV stealing from a store.

The man made his way into an empty betting shop, leaned over the counter meant only for employees, and picked up an item.

He then pocketed the item before leaving the store.

Store employees watching the theft afterwards are heard saying in Yoruba that the man has obviously made stealing a habit.
