Stunned father films group of Asian shoppers jamming 30 tins of baby formula into a car boot - despite Woolworth's two-can purchase limit
- Father-of-one films the moment Asian shoppers fill the boot of their car
- Woolworths currently have a two-tin policy in place due to a limited supply
- However multiple social media users have filmed shoppers disregarding rule
A stunned father has filmed the extraordinary moment a group of Woolworths shoppers loaded the boot of their car with 30 tins of baby formula.
The April 16 footage shows a group of Asian shoppers huddled around a car as they quickly load the baby formula into the boot.
Even after loading 26 tins into the car, the group still had more to go in their trolley at the Hurstville shopping centre car park.
When the man approached them they were startled and tried to cover their faces.
One member of the group became irate and started to yell at him.
Westfield Hurstville has several stores where the formula in the video could have been purchased including Woolworths, where the man said the shoppers came from.
However a Coles bag is also seen in the car as one of the shoppers unloads the payload.

The same man filmed a similar video on March 10 of a group of people waiting for the baby formula to be unpacked.
The father-of-one said he made the videos because he wanted the breach of the two-tin policy on buying the product to be enforced more seriously.
'This has been happening multiple times per week, and they always seem to know when fresh shipments have arrived,' he told Daily Mail Australia.
Father-of-one filmed the video on April 16 observing four people putting the tins of baby formula into a car after leaving a shopping centre in Hurstville, in Sydney's south
'They definitely need to enforce the two-tin policy. I believe it should have the same system as when you go to by pseudo-ephedrine products for hayfever from the pharmacy.
'They register your driver's licence on a system to stop you bouncing from shop to shop to stock up on the product.'
He said he has witnessed shoppers been refused sale only for them to go away, change clothes and be served.
Woolworths currently has a two-tin policy in place when it comes to purchasing baby formula.
This is not the first time that the man has filmed a video like this - he took similar footage on March 10 of a group of people waiting for the baby formula to be unpacked
It was introduced to prevent shortages because of shoppers buying excessive amounts of the product to sell at inflated prices in China.
A Woolworths spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia: 'We have a two-tin transaction limit on baby formula in place and our store teams work hard to ensure customers have access to stock when they need it.
'Baby formula stock was readily available for customers at our store when the video was taken and remains so today.
'We encourage any parents who find their chosen baby formula is unavailable on the shelves to speak with store management, so we can help get them stock as quickly as possible.'
Coles has also been contacted for comment.
