BERLIN (Reuters) - German police have arrested a shoplifter who aroused suspicion by waddling through a supermarket with 177 cigarette packets in his trousers.

"He'd filled his trousers in the truest sense of the word," a police spokesman for the western town of Olpe said Friday. "They were so full of stolen goods he could hardly walk."

The thief, in his twenties, was helped by three accomplices who formed a protective shield by holding newspapers in front of the man and his bulging trousers, police said.

Staff alerted police, who arrested the four as they attempted to transfer the loot into their car.

sounds like Albanians to me.

I used to hang out with some who went into shops and walked out with a half a dozen bottles of brandy and loads of packs of fags in there jackets and trousers all in the space of two minutes.
They were so brazen they would visit the same shop a few times a day . I even saw them come out of a butchers once with dozens of good quality steaks.
I went back to thier centre with them and had a good piss up and feast . They had cupboards full of shoes and leather jackets in all shapes and sizes.
