HILARIOUS footage shows a notorious seagull called ‘Gus’ walking into a Co-op and nicking a tuna sandwich.
Sales assistant Veberley Macdonald, 35, captured the brazen bird as he robbed the Co-op on Union Street, Aberdeen, on Wednesday.

The cheeky gull was pictured sauntering into the shop to seek out some scran and trying to pick up two sandwiches to take outside and eat.
The feathered thief, who also struck the same store in March, can be seen struggling to carry one sandwich in its beak, so swoops for another before finally managing to secure a tuna sarnie.
As he casually makes its way out of the shop, Gus calmly pauses for the automatic doors to open again when a customer walks in.

A hero shopper then tries unsuccessfully to grab the stolen item before the seagull makes a break for it.
The video ends just as a victorious Gus is shown pecking away at the fishy sandwich outside the store.
Bystander Veberley Macdonald captured the footage and posted it on Facebook, writing: “You’ll never believe who I ran into on the way to work this morning…MY BUDDY GUS!!!”

This was not the first time that Kimberley managed to capture footage of Gus in action.
Last month she racked up over 11,000 views for another video of the seagull emerging from the same shop.
In the clip, the gull is shown tottering around outside the store as pedestrians walk by.
It then makes its way in and a few seconds later can be seen emerging back outside with another sandwich in its beak.
Another hero customer tries to lead the gull back into the shop by blocking him off with his foot.
But the gull doesn’t seem deterred at all and just walks off to the bus stop directly across from the shop to peck its way into the sandwich.
Veberley Macdonald said: “It seems to be every day that I see Gus, I see him most mornings or afternoons.
“At first it was crisps he was stealing now it’s sandwiches.
“I thought it was so funny at first – he seems quite clever.”
