A trio attempted brazen shoplifting at Woolworths Mt Wellington in Auckland, stealing a 10-pack of Mountain Dew, laundry liquid, and a pineapple. One woman threw an item at a customer and later pretended to hurl a pineapple at a staff member. A trolley worker tried to block their escape, but they fled in a vehicle. Police are investigating the incident, which included an alleged assault on a customer. Woolworths acknowledged rising crime in stores and is investing $45 million in security. Authorities have zero tolerance for such behavior, and inquiries are ongoing.
