Police in Spalding investigating the theft of a customer’s phone from a shop in Market Place have issued a CCTV image.
The theft happened on Thursday, December 4, in Peacocks’ store. The owner of the phone put it on a clothes rail while shopping at around 10am. She walked away, forgetting to pick it up and when she returned a short time later, it was gone.
Review of the shop’s CCTV shows a woman picking up the phone and putting it in her bag. The phone is a black iPhone 4 in a white case with a pink and turquoise Aztec design on it.
PC Paul Cooper has released a CCTV image of a woman he would like to speak to, who may have information to assist the enquiry, and he is reminding the public that theft by finding is still a theft offence with serious consequences.
