Pete Doherty is in trouble for walking out of a designer store without paying for his shopping.

The troubled Babyshambles rocker reportedly picked out a coat, a watch and two scarves at a swanky Burberry store in Austria - then strolled out without paying for the scarves.

A shop worker told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: 'It was bizarre. He paid for the coat and watch but then walked out with two scarves.

'He took a pink one and one for himself that should have cost £175.'

Shop workers called the police to apprehend the wild star, who is thought to have rekindled his romance with supermodel Kate Moss, who when confronted about his actions told officers he had simply 'forgot' to pay.

The assistant explained: 'I called the police when he left the shop.

'They chased him to the gate and found the scarves on him, he told them he 'forgot' to pay and handed over the €250 in crumpled €5 notes.'

Meanwhile, Doherty allegedly caused chaos on his flight home to the UK - by sparking up a cigar.

The star is reportedly refused to have stopped smoking and shouted at flight attendants: 'F*** off. I could charter my own flight if I wanted.'

A source revealed: 'When they threatened to throw him off the flight he agreed to put it out, but it took some persuading.'
