JP Drake's Gift and that keeps on giving....  3rd June 2024

Outspoken supermarket boss John-Paul Drake has lashed out at two brazen alleged shoplifters’ outlandish acts, accusing them of disguising hundreds of dollars’ worth of prime meat cuts under fake birthday presents.

Mr Drake, the director of Drakes supermarkets, claimed the man and woman had been involved in alleged theft on five different occasions in the past month, across stores at Gawler, Gawler East, Salisbury North, Clovercrest and Golden Grove.

“With my birthday just around the corner, I honestly thought they were trying to deliver me a present,” Mr Drake said.

“Imagine my disappointment when they were making products disappear instead.”
