A heated debate was sparked in the comments section of the post as to whether those witnesses should have intervened.

“Why didn’t anyone stop them?” one person asked.

“First few seconds was rather obvious these folks weren’t paying.. why was the door open?” another added.

However, others agreed those inside the store were right to stand by and avoid getting themselves in harm’s way.

“No stock is worth potential harm to yourself or others you can actually get in trouble for trying to get in the way of people,” one person suggested.

“Let ‘em go, not worth the risk. Karma will catch up with them,” another added.

A South Australia Police spokesperson confirmed to 7NEWS.com.au the incident is being investigated.

“Patrols responded to reports of theft from the liquor store on Waterloo Corner Road, Burton just before 2pm on Saturday 14 January,” they said in a statement.

“The four thieves loaded up shopping trolleys with alcohol and made off without payment. There were no injuries reported during the incident.

“Investigations into the theft are continuing.”

Anyone who has any information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
