Police are probing a video of an ex-Asda worker caught on camera licking a chicken from one of the supermarket's displays before replacing it.

The scene comes at the end of a shocking video which shows Adeel Ayub running amok in Asda's store in the Fulwood area of Preston.

He is seen:

• Urinating in a toilet bin
  
• Slashing furniture and colleague's coats in the staffroom
  
• Setting off a fire extinguisher
  
• Filming firefighters responding to a false alarm
  
• Playing cricket and football with stock
  
• Poking his fingers in, stamping on and licking an uncooked chicken
  
• Smashing boxes of eggs in the stockroom

The same Asda store features in a new TV advertising campaign filmed in May.

A spokesman for Asda said: 'We are absolutely disgusted and appalled by the behaviour of this man.

'Despite leaving our business three years ago, we now have video evidence of criminal damage and we have taken this matter up with the police.'

Inspector Jameel Murtza of Lancashire Constabulary, Fulwood said: 'We are currently in the process of reviewing CCTV footage of the incident.

We are liaising with the management at Asda with the aim of identifying any criminal offences that have taken place.'

Ayub worked at the supermarket between 2005 and 2008. At the start of the film, Ayub is seen wearing Asda's distinctive green uniform as he lets off a fire extinguisher and gloats as the fire service respond to a false alarm at the supermarket.

The film, which was left anonymously in a brown envelope at the front desk of a local newspaper, was then passed to Asda, who are now investigating the incident.

The thug makes no effort to conceal his identity as he gloats and boasts throughout the film as he wreaks havoc in the aisles.

He then returns to the store in 2009 dressed in a hoodie - after he has left Asda's employment - where he is first seen stamping on whole chickens out on display.

The vandal then picks one out, tears off the plastic wrapping and licks the breast before placing the bird back on the shelf.

The mobile phone footage is thought to have been filmed by a fellow Asda employee over a series of night-time shifts.

Ayub is heard referring to the film as a 'top secret video' that is 'never going to get released'.

In increasingly vulgar footage, Ayub uses a craft knife to slash furniture in the staffroom, which led to it being closed and a £50 reward offered for information.

He also breaks trophies awarded to the store, hurls boxes of eggs around the warehouse, and plays 'Asda football' with boxes of stock.
