Tesco
security guards in China execute shoplifters -
NamNews, August, 2004
Tesco bosses have launched an urgent inquiry after
security guards at its new stores in China executed
two suspected shoplifters. One of the alleged thieves
was drowned in a canal and the other was beaten to death.
The killings were carried out at stores in northern
China before Tesco clinched a £140m deal to take
over the outlets owned by Hymall. A Tesco source said,
"We had just finished celebrating the deal when
news filtered through about a body in a canal. "Then
we found out another man died at a different store,
but we have been assured this is not normal practice."
A Tesco spokesman added: "They've had one or two
incidents with security staff there." The supermarket
giant takes full control of 25 Hymall stores at the
end of the month and 10 new stores are due to open next
year.
