A video appearing to show a man shoplifting from a Co-Op while "encouraging" a topless child to do the same thing is shocking, police have said.
The CCTV was taken inside the Co-Op Supermarket in The Oval in Sidcup on the afternoon of October 20.
A man can be seen putting goods from a basket into his bag while appearing to entice the child to copy.
Police are now looking to identify the man in the video.
A Bexley police statement read: “Although the value of goods involved was low, it’s shocking that the adult male appears to be encouraging the child with him to steal.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers on 08000 555 111.
