What do you do if you are aware that a group of people in a shop are stealing? what do you do if they are somalian? eastern european? ..and stealing from more than one shop....using mobile phones and carrying very large (very good quality) handbags.....what do you do if they are stealing, amongst other things, baby food and nappies, and what do you do when they are challenged by a shop assistant and then become very aggressive? what do you do when you want to do the right thing?

I think I'd probably just do nothing and then fret about it xxx
This is going to sound callous but... if you want to do the right thing; ring the police. Let the police decide what ought to be done about it. Shoplifting these days rarely leads to custodial sentences unless it is habitual. It is sad they are stealing baby things - but does their foreign status make it more sad than if it was a born-here UK citizen? Stealing is wrong and they obviously know it is too. The shopkeeper has to make a living. They may have kids to feed too.
I agree with Steve. Even if they are stealing baby things, they're probably just doing that as an aside. Probably part of an organised gang and not worth our sympathy.
