This is the moment a serial shoplifter was called a ‘sausage’ by an officer chasing him on a bike.

James McMurray stole thousands of pounds worth of goods from supermarkets across Southampton.

The prolific thief is shown cycling through a red light while being pursued by police.

A newly released clip shows the officer telling the shoplifter: ‘Mate, you are going to get taken off in a minute. It’s not worth it.’

‘You’re not getting away, I’m on a lecky,’ the policeman added, referring to a slang word for an electric bike.

McMurray, 38, was detained on Janaway Gardens after he was spotted by the officer while he was out on patrol.

He was charged with 42 counts of shoplifting as well as possession of crack cocaine and heroin.

The shoplifter was found to have stolen more than £3,000 of items from Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Co-op stores in Southampton.
