Chaos at Primark as security guards wrestle with young women
Chaos erupted inside Broadmead’s busy Primark as security guards were filmed grappling with a group of young women, accused of shoplifting.
The footage captured a tug‑of‑war-style struggle between two male staff members and several women as stunned shoppers looked on. The guards appeared to be trying to block the group from fleeing but the group ultimately bolted through a side door and escaped.
During the frenzied tussle, one woman could be heard shrieking, “Let go of my bag,” as the confrontation unfolded. The clip ended with staff talking to one of the women from the scuffle who was left sitting on the floor.
