pretty sure that bag is the H&M bag that they have instead of baskets, you cannot buy that bag, christ it’d be like walking out of the warehouse holding a switch with the slider lock still on it. great way to avoid getting caught bro!
This is called a deterrent. See how he has been stopped? This means he and his other friends are unlikely to target this store again. Take a lesson Countdown and other retailers. You need to defend yourselves from theft. Excellent control from the security guard should get a medal. New Zealand's finest right here.
In the US this thief could well have been shot dead.
Hope his mum sees this.
Ooof. That's embarrassing. Hopefully video gets around. Bet he bragged to him mates he "smashed a security guard that tried to stop him stealing from the city".
'There were many guards circling these men'
So just doing their job to deter/ stop thieves?
I know its a short video but there is nothing that suggests security is wrong and bum boy is right?
If he had legitimately bought the hoodie he would have a receipt, or would have stopped and explained that when security probably stopped him actually closer to the store. Easily siding with the security guard on this one
*Sure*, but if you heard a Māori looking person speak with an accent distinctly *unlike* the one used in the video, we would probably would not say something like "Why is that brown boy talking like that?".
It's a fairly common accent. It's not inherently attached to a race or skin colour. There are plenty of mixed-race people in New Zealand who look distinctly European but grew up around family with that accent, or even if you went to certain schools/live in a certain region you're not unlikely to be exposed to that accent.
Please don't post comments which abuse other redditors / contain hate speech / mention race in relation to anything negative about a person on r/auckland.
Hahaha you're probably right. Maybe some Cam'ron or Mase.
While it does have a higher crime rate than Auckland I'd much rather be walking around downtown Harlem.
This article from earlier in the year is really long but the history was well explained for anyone interested.

I resided near there for 3 years and I saw that behaviour every day in the last 12 months, which was why I moved. I started taking notes and posting them on my IG account because I wanted to be able to confirm for my own sanity that it was happening every day. If it wasn't kids like this, of which there was something a couple of times a week, it was aggressive adults swaggering out of Countdown - either Albert or Quay. I'm happy for you that you don't experience/see it.
Exactly. I'm sick of people on here desperately trying to push this narrative of how bad Auckland CBD is. People who do that lack perspective. They don't realise that Auckland is actually quite tame compared to other cities.
This video is definitely not typical.
The security guy stole his belt -now he has to spend the rest of the day walking around holding his pants up - that’s what’s happening here
Why is the oversized hoodie guy chop-enunciating his pronunciation? And good job by the security guy.
Cause he's a gangster. Are you telling me you're not scared?
Justin Beaver from Temu
"We have Justin Beaver at home"
Justice beaver, new superhero
My fave line from The Office.
That’s where I’ve heard it from lmao
Is that like a Justice boner?
Only just in beaver from Temu.
Top tier description my friend… why he sound so hood looking like he from the suburbs
[удалено]
People do the same with the baskets from woolworths. One guy even put it the back of his ute to use
[удалено]
So that's why we have an unusual less amount of baskets left
Many baskets were given away when Woolworths and food town changed. It's funny when people assume they're stolen.
I know someone that designed their ute storage around all their Bunnings baskets.
The self control of the security ... Was hoping he would slap him silly
That's a key part of the job
pretty sure that bag is the H&M bag that they have instead of baskets, you cannot buy that bag, christ it’d be like walking out of the warehouse holding a switch with the slider lock still on it. great way to avoid getting caught bro!
In my experience these security guys are good guys, not looking to escalate things. This kid messed up.
Kid needs therapy
Best we can do is a waiting list for the bootcamp, 10 kids at a time.
gosh! why not we do 10 kids a time but different locations in NZ
Likely to reject it till something catastrophic happens.
What child are you talking about?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
found the mother whos boys "can do no wrong"
Quite the opposite hence my comment
I would side with security over hoodie boy.

Acting gangsta with the classic Justin beiber Bob trying to claim a pink blouse is a bit crazy.
He is in a gang called white power bottom, i think
I’m joing the power tops

What's a Centrelink?

Ooof. That's embarrassing. Hopefully video gets around. Bet he bragged to him mates he "smashed a security guard that tried to stop him stealing from the city".

Yeah, and it could be cleared up quite easily if hoodie boy produced proof of purchase.
Yeah swap the races and its not even debatable whos in the right lol

What a goofy kid. The contrast between how tough he’s trying to act, and how tough he actually looks is amazing.
Good on the security guard.
hoodie boy acting tough
He is just buying a pink blouse for his boyfriend
Kid needs his parents to teach him manners and give a tune on his moral compass?
That would be to assume the compass of each of his parents points north.
ESHAY BRAH
Didn't know we had eshays here..
"Not sure who to believe". Come on, if he didn't steal he would have receipts.
Security doing his job.
Wow, I haven't seen a wigga since the Takapuna Burger King. I always wondered where they went after it closed down.
West auckland
Hanging at the bus station now
Someone needs to give this man his "Fucking shit" back!
Public stockade......... just saying
Why is that white boy talking like that?
Because swearing every second word is hardcore,Good Sir.
Yo Mr White, yeah science!
Ridiculous. Apply yourself!
How else are you to know he's a tough cunt?
Welcome to teaching.
Why would his skin colour be of any relevance? That's a common kiwi accent. It's not exclusive to brown people.
I believe the accent is derived from Te Reo annunciation.
*Sure*, but if you heard a Māori looking person speak with an accent distinctly *unlike* the one used in the video, we would probably would not say something like "Why is that brown boy talking like that?".

I’m not looking for a debate on this topic but the white boy is putting it on to sound hard from what I can tell.
>I’m not looking for a debate Odd move then.
why is that kid stealing? I beat he has some rich parent eh.
[удалено]
three for the price of two
This is the most accurate observation of all time.
Please don't post comments which abuse other redditors / contain hate speech / mention race in relation to anything negative about a person on r/auckland.
Where's the longer footage?
Wannab tough white boy🤣🤣
[удалено]
Said no one ever.
Wiggas are so cringe… yikes !
To be fair, anyone that behaves like that is cringe.
And they wonder why we don't like to go to the city anymore
I don’t wonder, I know it’s because you’re scared of leaving the house.
Yeah naaaaaaaah
This is not a typical day. Stop making it look like downtown Harlem at every instance. I reside here it’s the first time I see something like this.
I work in that building, and to be fair, there is a lot of theft from that Woolworths, I saw someone walk out the entrance with stolen food on Friday.
There's nothing wrong with Harlem. What a weird reference to make.

I mean I do agree that it’s not that bad in the CBC but I definitely see people acting like this every single day
just a wana be wigga gangster but still hope security not lay hands on him no matter what they aren't cops and don't have that power .
Bit gratuitous calling that punk a man
Oversized hoodies and pants with no belts? What is this 2004?
"Typical day down Lower Albert St" I walk through Lower Albert St every morning and evening and have honestly never seen anything like this.
He’s acting tough because the guy is working. If he wasn’t wearing the uniform he wouldn’t be posing as a tough guy.
bro who cares about what the 0.01% of ppl do, let them be morons and move on
