TWO tiny thieves are captured on CCTV stealing from a newsagent – egged on by their mother.

The pair, a boy aged around four and a girl aged six, targeted the shop during a busy lunch hour.
The girl is seen jumping on to the fridge and moving smaller cans of energy drink Red Bull to get a larger one, seemingly under the guidance of her mum at the door.
The shopkeeper told the child to get down, but she just ignored him and carried on in her quest for the £2.40 can. She then turns towards the door, and was heard to shout: “This one, mum?”
Copying his older accomplice, the younger boy, who is at eye level with a 3ft high shelf of cereal bars, helps himself to snacks.
He then follows the girl as they run out of the shop, in Liverpool, with their spoils.
Shop owner Sammi Mohammed said: “I just fear for the future for those kids if they grow up thinking that is OK, that it is a normal thing to do. I had customers in the shop and by the time I’d got out they were long gone. What could I have done anyway? They were small children.”
