Asda Worker Fired for Stopping Shoplifter

0:00On April 25th, a 49-year-old as the worker in South Shields just got fired after 25 years on the job for grabbing a shoplifter to snag. Back a stolen bottle of vodka, Gavin Ramsey was collecting trolleys when he spotted rowdy youths with booze they'd swiped, and he reacted on instinct, pulling one kid down in a, quid tussle to get the bottle with the security tag still on.

Long-timers like Ramsey pay the ultimate price for doing what feels right.
