North London Greggs Faces Wave of Thefts Amidst Cost of Living Crisis A recent incident at a Greggs store in Archway, North London, has highlighted a concerning trend of theft from the bakery. A video circulating online shows a man casually walking out of the store with several items, apparently without paying. The video's narrator, who remains anonymous, suggests this is not an isolated incident and that this particular Greggs has been targeted numerous times in the past month alone. "There was one day where there were like fourteen people in the space of two hours taking stuff from the hot counter and the drinks," the narrator explains in the video. The narrator also speculates on the possible motives behind these thefts, suggesting both the cost of living crisis and simple greed as contributing factors. The escalating problem has reportedly led Greggs to implement additional security measures, including locks on the doors. The video concludes with a call for local residents to share their experiences, suggesting the issue is widespread in the Archway area. This incident underscores the challenges faced by businesses in the current economic climate and raises questions about the societal impact of the cost of living crisis.
