    This is the moment a Currys security guard was seen fighting off a topless man in a bid to reclaim a TV after he seemingly tried to steal from the tech shop.

    The security guard, dressed in a hi-vis coat, was seen shoving the topless man back away from a TV box.

    It happened in a car park as a Currys worker looked on.

    The guard grappled with the thief, who removed his top before appearing to give up – allowing security to take back the TV.

    The workers then hauled the product – still in a cardboard box – back to the shop.

    Video then showed the man who allegedly tried to steal the TV get into a car. 

    The footage was filmed at Castle Vale shopping centre in Birmingham.

    MailOnline has contacted Currys for comment.

    West Midlands Police said the incident wasn’t reported to them. 

    Earlier this month, a woman was left stunned after ordering a £700 laptop from the high street retailer only to discover she was the recipient of three mouldy pies instead.

    Gemma Worley, 39, from Cornwall, thought she had bagged a bargain after deciding to treat herself to a new Lenovo Yoga laptop purchased online from Currys.

    But her excitement soon waned after the sizeable package was delivered.

    The charger cable, accessories, stylus and even instruction booklet were all there – but so were a trio of baked goodies from Yorkshire Handmade Pies crammed into the space where her new computer should have been.

    Despite reporting the incident to customer services straight away, Mrs Worley said she has been left waiting to hear whether she will receive a refund or replacement laptop.

    After MailOnline approached Currys, she was informed this process could take up to 14 days.

    The circumstances suggest that Mrs Worley could have fallen victim to a scam known as refund or return fraud.

    Currys has assured the customer they are investigating the matter and hope to have it resolved ‘as quickly as possible’

    In these situations, the fraudster will purchase an item, remove it from the box and then replace it with items of a lesser value that have a similar weight.

    They will then attempt to return the item and claim a refund.

    A situation could then arise where the returned package is erroneously sent to a genuine customer with the lower value items still inside.

    A Currys spokesperson said: ‘We are urgently investigating this case to get it resolved for the customer.

    We understand the customer’s frustration and apologise for the time its taken to reach a conclusion.

    ‘Our teams have been in touch with the customer to provide the latest update.

    ‘Rest assured, we hope to resolve the case as quickly as possible.’
