AN elderly man stole a bottle of vodka from the Co-op in Malmesbury last week - by hiding it down his trousers.

On Friday (24) at around 1.20pm the unknown man walked into the high street shop and attempted to steal the booze by tucking in down the back of his trousers.

When a female member of staff tried to stop him he became aggressive towards her.

Police are reviewing CCTV images.
