This guy must really love shrimp.

Security camera footage caught an unidentified man entering a grocery store and stealing products by stuffing them down his pants. Oddly, his theft seemed to be limited to just bags of frozen shrimp, which he stole hundreds of dollars’ worth.

The Riverside Police Department in California recently shared footage of the suspect on its Facebook page. According to the post, the suspect entered Vons grocery store multiple times, each time leaving with multiple bags of frozen shrimp stuffed down his pants.
