A man has been caught on CCTV stealing a bottle of milk from a Plymouth doorstep — a crime that says a lot about British life in 2025\. 

The footage was captured just after 3 am this morning on Trelawney Avenue in the St Budeaux area. 

It showed the individual walking up to a home and quietly stealing the milk that had just been delivered. 

The homeowner posted on Facebook asking for help identifying the person in the video.
