Dashcam catches Dan Murphy’s liquor theft on video
- Replies 58
Have you ever experienced entering a bottle shop's car park and coming across something unexpected?
Well, one Aussie motorist was in for quite a surprise when he pulled into the car park—and caught something on his dashcam!
A video showing an alleged thief running off with two bottles became ‘popular’ on social media, stunning Aussies everywhere.
In the clip, a man was sprinting from the Dan Murphy’s store with two bottles of Jim Beam in his hands.
According to reports, no one from inside the bottle shop was seen chasing after him, clearly leaving people who watched the clip questioning why the situation was not dealt with.
The motorist who filmed the incident said that the security guard they saw was ‘standing by the door looking dismayed’ after the alleged thief escaped.
‘As someone who worked at Dan Murphy's for years, don't bother running, we don't care enough to stop you,’ commented one Aussie.
Sadly, this isn't an isolated incident either, retail workers are often faced with such danger in their everyday working lives.
In October, a woman was caught on camera punching an IGA worker in the head in Mandurah.
The altercation began when the worker attempted to check the woman's bag while leaving the supermarket. Local authorities promptly investigated the matter.
Recent data from the Australian Retailers Association (ARA) has shown that an alarming 92 per cent of retailers say that they have either personally experienced or had a team member experience verbal or physical abuse while at work.
‘Being yelled at, spat at, punched or groped is not tolerated in any other workplace, and must not be accepted in retail,’ stressed ARA Chief Executive Paul Zahra.

Furthermore, Zahra called on other states to take NSW, SA and NT’s approach and make laws even tougher to properly protect retail employees.
On the other hand, a representative from Dan Murphy mentioned that the incident has been reported to the police.
They said: ‘The incident has been referred to NSW Police for investigation. Our priority, as always, is the safety and well-being of both our customers and our team members.’
The incident occurred just as a new safety council is set to be established to address the growing issue of customer abuse and violence against retail employees.
This initiative comes after an agreement among key stakeholders, including the Australian Retailers Association (ARA), the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association (SDA), major retailers, and shopping centres during a recent roundtable discussion.
