This week's prime example of genetic gonkery

Mr X was banned from an Exeter shop after being caught shoplifting by several shoppers.After asking staff a question which required them to go to the other side of the branch he pulled out a cane with sticky tape attached to this end which he used to reach across the counter to try and grab items.According to the arresting officer he had managed to 'stick' several items but he was detained before getting to the store doors...🏒
