Aberdeen,
A seagull has been stealing his favourite crisps from a shop in Aberdeen.

The bird has a tendency to stroll in to the newsagent's shop and pick up a cheesy snack from the bottom shelf, then head off.

The sealed bag is no problem, he rips it open to get his beak on the spoils.

Sam may be brave, but he does not work alone.

Once he has opened the bag, he is joined by a group of accomplice seagulls, who also tuck in.

The unusual shoplifter is proving so popular with locals, they are paying for his crisps.
