But posting a short video on Instagram, he wrote: “This man came ‘shopping’ at the farm shop. I would like to meet the cu”.

The video shows a man dressed in a black cap with a dark gilet over a long-sleeved top walking around the shop.

He is then seen reaching for a bottle of alcohol on a shelf, before looking around and placing it inside his jacket.

The man continues to look around at other items and shelves, while a second is understood to have been stood at the till.

One of the men is understood to have purchased £69 worth of items from the shop, while the other man stole goods valued at around £80.

The two men arrived at the shop at around 4.15pm on Tuesday, before leaving together in a vehicle and driving in the firection of Burford, West Oxfordshire.

Police are investigating the incident following a report of shoplifting.

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police told MailOnline: “We received a report of shoplifting at Diddly Squat Farm Shop in Chipping Norton Road, Chadlington, at around 4.15pm yesterday.

“Two men entered the shop after arriving in the same vehicle. One went to the till and bought £69-worth of goods while the other stole two bottles of alcohol and another unknown item, worth around £80.

“Both men then left the shop, got back in the vehicle and drove off in the direction of Burford.”

Clarkson’s fans were quick to comment on social media, sharing their frustration over the incident.

One said: “When you steal from someone who has 6.7 million followers and get caught on camera”.

Another wrote: “Hopefully he will see this and think about he’s actions next time he goes shopping”.

A third added: “Imagine stealing from someone as high profile as Jezza and thinking you’d get away with it”.
