The footage emerged after our undercover investigation found thieves ransacking the chain at branches across the country.
Last week, The Sun’s story revealed the scale of the shoplifting crisis with staff often powerless to intervene.
The latest video shows the manager taking action in Tooting, South London.
A witness who filmed the fracas said of the other customers: “There were two grown men stood by the tills. Everyone was just silent.
“With the crime rates in London, you don’t know what the individual might be carrying. Everyone is just afraid.”
The witness said she often saw thefts in Greggs, adding: “Shoplifters know that the Greggs policy is not to intervene. That’s free rein to do what you want.”
The Met Police said it was not alerted to the incident, which happened in August.
Our investigation was hailed as vital by the Policing Minister Diana Johnson and Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick.
Greggs said: “The safety of our colleagues and loyal customers remains our absolute priority.”
