On Monday, a 27-year-old woman walked into Dan Murphy’s and was captured on CCTV at 6.45pm selecting a 700ml bottle of Cougar Bourbon and allegedly placing it under her shirt.
A short time later, security surveillance captured the woman allegedly taking a 700ml bottle of Jim Beam Whiskey from the shelf before she again hides it under her clothing.
Police said staff became suspicious of the woman but she refused to be searched when questioned and left the store.
Meanwhile, a 28-year-old man has been turned away from a South Tamworth bottle shop on Monday after two previous stealings were reported.
Police said the man was captured on CCTV allegedly stealing two bottles of Jim Beam by placing it down his pants in the store about 7.05pm on Friday.
He left, but allegedly returned 20 minutes later and placed a bottle of rum under his clothing before fleeing.
