Officers investigating a theft from Highcliffe Pharmacy in Christchurch are issuing a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to.

At 1.15pm on Thursday 20 February 2020 a man entered the store on Lymington Road and, after making conversation with the assistant, selected various items including make-up to an approximate value of £300. CCTV footage shows the offender concealing the items under his coat before leaving the store without paying. 

Police Sergeant Carmel Ryan, of Dorset Police, said: “We have made efforts to identify the offender but these have so far been unsuccessful. 

“As part of my enquiries I have now obtained a CCTV image of a man I would like to speak to.

“If you recognise him from the image, please get in touch.”
