A group of students filmed stealing clothes from inside a charity bin have been branded as “morally redundant” by angry members of the public on social media.
The emerged video footage – which amassed thousands of views after being shared on TikTok and Twitter, before being removed following mounting backlash – showed one male and three female students stood around the clothing bin, while one of the girls appears to help herself to items and attempt to show off the brand names on interior tags of the garments.
It also reportedly showed the students bragging that they would be selling the stolen clothes online afterwards.
Viewers were left in uproar and took to social media to express anger as they claimed the clip was uploaded with the caption “@ my depop”, believed to be in reference to the online selling site and app where second hand clothes are often sold.
The students were branded “shocking and disrespectful”, “morally redundant” and more by TikTok and Twitter users.
I cannot get over that TikTok of uni students STEALING CLOTHES FROM A CHARITY CLOTHES BIN AND THEN SELLING THEM ON THEIR DEPOP??? I hate this timeline so much
Meanwhile when the video was shared on Facebook, some people were a little bit more sympathetic towards the involved students.
One commenter wrote: “Obviously may not be the case, but I can’t assume just by how they look what they’re going through, they could be homeless/insecure housing/broke/cut off from parents etc and might be trying to literally survive, obviously if that isn’t the case yeah this is minging.

“Don’t steal from charity bins, that’s not ok”.
Other Facebook users weren’t as willing to give the students the benefit of the doubt.

The university said that it was aware of the video footage circulating.
It confirmed that the donation bin was on their campus, but while the youths in the video have been widely referred to as students online, it still remains unclear as to whether they are of university age, or which establishment they attend.
A Manchester Metropolitan University spokesman said in relation to the video: “We’re aware of a video on social media relating to clothing donation units on the university campus and are currently investigating further”.
The British Heart Foundation has also been approached, but has declined to comment at this time.

John Stones is leaving Manchester City after a decade
Danny Jones
Manchester City defender John Stones has revealed he will be leaving after nearly a full decade in sky blue at the end of the season.
The England and Man City defender has lifted pretty much everything there is to win at club level, being part of the ‘Centurions’, Treble-winning and four-in-a-row sides.
John Stones signed for City back in August of 2016 and has gone on to be part of their greatest-ever period of success under Pep Guardiola, not to mention becoming a mainstay in the national team during that time.
Sharing a moving video on social media, announced the decision that will see him depart after the best part of 10 years this summer.
Having made nearly 300 appearances for the Cityzens, he will leave the Etihad as one of their most decorated players, with a tally of 19 major trophies, the same number of goals and nine assists during his time with the club.
That being said, depending on how the remainder of this 2025/26 campaign goes, all of those stats could improve even further.
Writing in an official statement of their own, Man City went on to say: “Armed with wonderful technique, a sublime passing range allied to a superb work rate and astute reading of the game, Stones was in many ways the very embodiment of Pep Guardiola’s City.
“Such was his natural talent and tactical flexibility that Stones’ City career later saw him often deployed in a hybrid role, which saw him move into the middle of the City engine room to great effect, not least in the 2023 UEFA Champions League final…”
He is now set to leave as a free agent this June.
John Stones will leave Manchester City in the summer, bringing an end to a memorable and hugely successful ten-year stay.
They sign off by adding that “the Club and all of our supporters will take the time to deliver a fitting tribute and farewell to a superb servant of Manchester City Football Club at the end of the season.”
Following rumours of his departure in recent weeks and months, a number of clubs across Europe are already thought to have expressed interest in a transfer for the 31-year-old.
Some of the names floating around the Yorkshire-born centre-back’s signature include AC Milan and Bayern Munich; there have even been some hints at Everton attempting to re-sign him.
Where does he rank among your favourite City stars of all-time, Blues?
