Urine trouble! Man’s supermarket shenanigan sparks nationwide hunt!

In a brazen act that has left shoppers and staff appalled, a man has been caught on camera committing a revolting act of vandalism inside a supermarket.

The unsettling incident, involving significant damage to goods, has sparked a nationwide hunt.

This case raised concerns over public safety and the repercussions of such behaviour in public spaces.


The incident, which took place at a Woolworths store on George Street in the heart of Sydney's bustling CBD, saw a man allegedly urinate on a variety of food items, causing over $300 in damage.

It occurred at 11:40 PM on July 1—a time when the supermarket would have been winding down its operations for the day.

‘Police have been told the incident caused over $300 in damage to produce, and extensive work was undertaken over several hours to decontaminate the area,’ the NSW Police stated.

The NSW Police have taken the matter seriously, releasing images of a man they are keen to identify and speak with in connection to the incident.

Described as a white male aged between 20 and 30 and of medium build, he was last seen wearing a navy blue cap backwards, a black jacket, black pants, and dark blue shoes.

He was also carrying a black satchel bag at the time of the offence.


Woolworths, which prides itself on providing quality goods to the community, has been left shaken by the event.

Such actions not only have financial repercussions but also undermine the sense of safety and cleanliness that customers expect from their local stores.

Anyone with details regarding the incident or who can identify the individual involved is encouraged to contact Sydney City Police Area Command or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.


This unsettling incident inside the supermarket has drawn parallels to another bizarre case that has captured local attention.

In a separate but equally perplexing situation, residents were seeking answers regarding a mysterious ‘drive-by pooper’, whose actions have left communities puzzled and concerned.

Both incidents underscore the unexpected challenges faced in maintaining public hygiene and safety, prompting widespread community efforts to identify and address such unusual behaviours.

Whilst I agree with the outrage here, it is worth considering that the lack of toilets in public spaces, especially since the turn of the century, certainly doesn't help matters. However, I agree that is no excuse for being so inconsiderate. If you can't hold it in find a dark laneway somewhere or, being 11.40 pm, he should have gone at the pub before he left. 🚾🚻😎

The male in question was protesting at Woolworths reinstating Australia Day merchandise? He doesn't look particularly Anglo - Saxon....

The world would be horrified if a person did the same thing to Halal meats, Easter, Christmas or Halloween paraphernalia.

Disgusting shameful acts, the people responsible for this disgusting behavior should be forced to pay for all cleanup costs, lost produce costs as well as fined and banned from the shopping centers. Publicly name and shame these disgusting lowlife individuals.

He should be named and shamed plus banned from supermarkets for a long time- only to be allowed to shop online !!! filthy and damaging act.....
Yes put that photo up on the wall at the entrance to the store with a caption.

Suggestion:

Do you know this pisser? If yes, he is the reason your fresh food items are now costing you more. Give us his name so we can keep him out of our stores.
 
Surely this disgusting individual can be tracked somehow? I agree that his expression shows that he was well aware of how his stunt would be regarded. Yuk!!

That's a bit unfair to the store concerned. Perhaps the photo should be taken up by the local (community) newspaper in the area??

I'm not sure how it would be unfair. I'd support his photo being displayed in all Woolworths stores Australia wide.
 
Disgusting act...why are some people so horrible and think they are above the law. I hope this idiot gets locked up and has to repay the monetory value of damage and contamination he caused in Woolies.

I have a clever idea to stop him from doing it again!!!!!! A sharp knife would do the trick. He should not be out on the street.
I don't think we should be thonkong about knives. The Bondi incident was bad enough and there are lots of disrecptful idiots out there that carry knives and people getting stabbed.
