Yahoo News Corrie Kabin gets robbed but does Rita know who did it?
Robbery struck the centre of Coronation Street tonight (August 16) as Rita, Norris and Mary discovered the Kabin had been burgled.
We all knew it was Gemma's dodgy friends Roxy and Zoe who made their way into the shop after noticing Rita hadn't locked up as she left.
But it didn't stop shock and horror among viewers:
Oh no the shop 😱 #Corrie

Many took Rita's refusal that she couldn't have forgotten to lock up or set the alarm as a sign of her ongoing memory problems:
I feel so sorry for Rita 😢 #corrie @itvcorrie

Not liking this change in Rita. I hope it isn't dementia. Would be absolutely devastating. #corrie

The police – although being spot-on this time about how the door can't have been locked and the alarm couldn't have been set – didn't exactly inspire confidence in viewers:
Wahey! The #corrie coppers have arrived. This crime is all but solved!

I expect the police to arrest one of the Platt family by 8pm #corrie

DS Mackinnon should round up the Barlows for questioning over this robbery. #Corrie #coronationstreet

It didn't take Rita long to decide it was Gemma who had carried out the robbery and stolen £100 from her purse – taking advantage of her kind nature and being in her flat:
No Rita it wasn't Gemma #corrie
- Emily❥🌹 (@emilymayox_) August 16, 2017
It wasn't Gemma, Rita!#Corrie
- Andy Gibson (@AndyGibsonTV) August 16, 2017

Gemma protested her innocence throughout the episode, but that didn't stop Rita calling the police at the end of the show:
Rita is going in #Corrie
