Police investigating a large-scale scented candle theft want to speak to the man in these pictures.
Hundreds of pounds worth of scented candles were taken by a shoplifter from a Nottingham city centre shop.
The stock was snatched from the shelves at Boots, in Lower Parliament Street, and stolen around 11.30am on 7 August.
The same store was then targeted the following day – around 2.10pm – with a thief making off with a high-value bottle of aftershave.
Police believe both the incidents to be linked and have now released images of an individual they’d like to talk to about the thefts.
PC Tamzin Elliott, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“Hundreds of pounds worth stock was stolen from the same shop during these two incidents.
“The first saw an offender brazenly walk in and help himself to large quantities of scented candles from the shelves.
“It really should go without saying, but this type of behaviour is completely unacceptable and unfair on honest shoppers who pay for their items.
“We want to speak to the man pictured about both thefts, so would urge him to make himself known to us.
“Likewise, we’d ask that anybody who recognises him lets us know, so that we can ask him a couple of questions.”
Information can be reported to the police by calling 101, quoting incident 25000475164, or by contacting Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
