This wasn’t the type of package they thought he was hiding.

A well-hung British man claims he was accused of shoplifting — because his big bulge was mistaken for stolen goods stuffed down his pants.

Steve Whitehurst, 47, told The Sun that he was confronted in a menswear store — and finally had to expose his 10-inch penis to show that the only goods he was smuggling were his own.

“I had very tight jeans on that day and there was a bulge, yes, but that’s not illegal. I can’t help the way I’m made,” he told the UK paper of being stopped by suspicious staff while with his girlfriend and 18-month-old grandson.

“Eventually I dropped my trousers in front of everyone and just stood there in my boxer shorts and said, ‘See, I’ve got nothing to hide.’”

He claims staff at Scotts Mens­wear in Stoke-on-Trent still refused to believe him — so he went into a cubicle to show all to a male security guard.

“He shook his head and ran out and spoke with the manager. I heard her say, ‘Please tell me he’s got something down there,’ and the guy said, ‘No,’” Whitehurst told the paper, calling it the “craziest experience of my life.”

A spokesperson for JD Sports, the company that owns the store, told The Sun that he was only stopped because he was “exhibiting suspicious behaviour.”

“When the store manager confronted the customer, he became abusive. At no point did any colleague ask the customer to remove any clothing,” the statement added.

A source also told the paper that when he finally dropped his pants, “the bulge was much smaller than staff remembered it.”
