Video footage shows a shoplifter wearing an ankle monitor help himself to an entire bag of liquor and other items at a Target store in Chicago while staff stood by and did nothing

At a Target store in Chicago, a bold shoplifter who was wearing an ankle monitor nonchalantly helped himself to a full bag of alcohol and other products as the staff watched and did nothing.

The unidentified man is shown on camera strolling down the wine and beer aisle, stuffing a bag with wine bottles, and slinging it over his shoulder as he makes his way through the store, the sound of glass clinking together.

On the footage, a security guard can be seen trailing him closely but does nothing.

The latest instance in the brazen shoplifting trend that has been reported across the nation was the man who was caught on camera stealing wine and other products from the Target store in Wicker Park last week.

It is unknown if the incident was reported to police or if the man managed to escape with the products despite the footage being posted to Twitter by @ChicagoCritter.
