Alleged extortion case by supermarket security guard referred to police

A customer said she went through the self check out at the Pak'NSave Manukau last month scanning and paying for items including two bottles of moisturiser. She said a security guard approached her while she was packing up and and accused her of shop lifting. He then took her to a room with another colleague and asked her to pay a $395 dollar fine or the police would be called. The woman who wanted to remain anonymous, described to Lisa Owen how things unfolded after the security guard approached her.
