POLICE are keen to trace these three people in connection with shoplifting incidents in Poole.

Officers in Dorset have released CCTV images after an incident at the John Lewis & Partners at Home store, at the Poole Retail Park in Redlands, Branksome, at around 1pm on Wednesday, October 18.

“While one of the men was speaking to a member of the staff, the other man concealed items in a bag before leaving the store without paying,” a Dorset Police spokesperson said.

Then, at around 12.40pm on Friday, October 20, they said, one of the men from the previous incident and a different man entered the same store and “placed several items into bags before leaving the store without paying”.

The value of the stolen items was more than £2,500, the spokesperson added.

PC Beverley Beck, of Poole police, said: “I am now in a position to issue CCTV images of the three suspects and would ask anyone who recognises them to please get in touch.”
