Seagull Caught Stealing Crisps

A seagull has been filmed walking into a shop and stealing a packet of crisps. When the door is open at the RS McColl newsagent in Aberdeen, Scotland, the bird walks in and pinches a packet of cheese Doritos.

The seagull, nicknamed Sam, has now become so popular that locals have started paying for his crisps.

Once outside, the crisps are ripped open and the seagull is joined by other birds.


Shop assistant Sriaram Nagarajan said: “Everyone is amazed by the seagull. For some reason he only takes that one particular kind of crisps.”

Mr Nagarajan said: “He’s got it down to a fine art. He waits until there are no customers around and I’m standing behind the till, then he raids the place.

“At first I didn’t believe a seagull was capable of stealing crisps. But I saw it with my own eyes and I was surprised. He’s very good at it.

“He’s becoming a bit of a celebrity. Seagulls are usually not that popular but Sam is a star because he’s so funny.”


The BBC has mobile footage of the seagull in action.
