A shoplifting Scots seagull has been caught on camera stealing a packet of crisps from a Co-op.
The crafty bird was filmed lifting the snack from a store in Aberdeen yesterday.
In the clip, the cheeky gull can be seen biding its time outside the shop.
As a customer exits the store, the cunning bird spots its opportunity.
It quickly waddles inside while the automatic doors remain open.
The massive bird then ambles along the aisle, perusing its options.
Finally, it settles on a packet of ready salted Walker’s crisps and snatches them up in it's beak.
It then bolts back out of the store, depositing the bag on the street.
As the clip ends, the seagull can be seen furiously smacking its beak against the packet in a desperate attempt to open them.
The hilarious scene was caught by an Aberdeen local Neil Traynor, who then shared the footage online and said: “Gulls don't care for the concept of ownership or trade.”
The comical clip has since been liked more than a thousand times and had social media users in stitches.
One user wrote: “Bold as brass.”
Another added: “That is so funny.”
One person said: “Knew what he was wanting and doing.”
And another said: “Love it, only in Aberdeen.”
Neil also revealed the seagull is a regular thief.
He added: “A member of staff took the packet before he could open it.
“Apparently he normally steals the pasta pots which are much easier to get into.”
