Australian ‘booze bandit’ left red-faced after liquor shop door fails to open during theft
- The man couldn’t get The Bottle-O Beechboro store’s sliding door to open as he attempted to dash out of the venue with a crate of drinks
- He was allowed to exit the shop after he returned the goods to the cashier, who called his act ‘more of a defeat’
A man’s attempt to dash out of a liquor store with a crate of drinks was spectacularly foiled when he just couldn’t get the shop’s sliding door to open.
The footage shows the man, dressed in a plaid shirt and black trousers, walking up to the cash register.
In the clip, the man appeared to be walking up to make payment for the crate of drinks he was holding. But he suddenly took a sharp left and dashed towards the sliding glass door to exit the shop.
However, he could not get too far, because the door refused to open for him. He was then seen awkwardly fiddling with the door, attempting to pry it open, before conceding defeat.
The video then showed the man walking back to the cashier and returning the crate of booze to the cashier, Kelly Gordon.
