“As part of my enquiries into this incident I am in a position to issue CCTV images of the two suspects, and I would urge anyone who recognises them to please contact Dorset Police.

“There were a number of people in the store at the time of the incident and I would ask anyone who saw what happened and has not yet spoken to police, to please come forward.”
