captionStory from Jam Press (Lamb Chops) Pictured: The lamb chops and beef steaks have been put in security boxes. Chops and robbers! Lamb chops put in GPS tracked security boxes in Co-op to thwart thieves Lamb chops and beef steaks have been put in security boxes in Co-op to thwart thieves. The plastic containers have GPS trackers on them too. Lamb chops worth £6 are in them in the supermarket. Sirloin steaks for just £3.99 have also been put in the boxes. As have £4.75 rumps in the branch in Hornsea, near Bridlington, East Yorks. The boxes have labels on them that read: “Caution. “Security device. “Must be removed at checkout before leaving the store." Customer Dylan John, 46, who was visiting the seaside town with his family, told What's The Jam: "Talk about a steak out. “I’ve never seen anything as crazy as lamb chops being protected by GPS tracking. "I can just imagine boffins at NASA sitting in front of a big screen showing the UK. “And little dots moving around showing where the lamb cutlets are. “It's bonkers." The measure comes following a rise in shoplifting amid the cost-of-living crisis in the UK. Supermarkets have placed relatively low-priced items in security boxes or have tags put on them. It is to deter hard-up Brits from swiping them off the shelves. The Co-op has been approached for comment. ENDS
