Chadderton Tesco Security Tag Baskets

Published 12th Oct 2015

One Tesco store in Chadderton has decided to start security tagging their baskets to stop them being stolen.

It's after a third of the baskets were stolen in one week since the controversial 5p charge on carrier bags came in.

A Tesco spokesperson said, “We’re always working to provide the best service we can for our customers and this includes making sure baskets are available for shoppers. In some cases it’s been necessary to attach security tags to baskets to prevent them from being stolen.”
