Image appeal following threats made with knife in Bournemouth
Officers investigating an incident where security staff were threatened with a knife in Bournemouth are issuing an image of a man they would like to speak to.
At around 1pm on Monday 7 June 2021 a man and a woman attempted to steal items from B&Q on Castle Lane West. A security guard challenged them and they ran off through the underground car park area toward Evershot Road.
Security staff proceeded to follow them and challenged them again on Evershot Road. The man pulled a knife from his pocket and threatened the security staff. There were no reports of any injuries sustained.
Police Sergeant Paul Harding, of North Bournemouth Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “As part of my enquiries, I am now in a position to issue an image of a man I would like to identify.
“I would urge anyone who recognises him to please come forward and contact Dorset Police.”
