Police have released CCTV of a man they would like to speak to following a 'suspicious incident' at a Tesco store. 

Police received reports of a man acting suspiciously toward customers at the Riverside Avenue branch around 5pm on Monday, August 1. 

The full nature of the incident is unclear and therefore officers would like to speak to the man to find out what occurred.

Detective Constable Jan Bennett, of Bournemouth CID, said: "We have been making a number of initial enquiries and only now are we in a position to release a CCTV image of the man we would like to speak to as he may be able to assist with the investigation.

"I am appealing to the man, or anyone who knows who the man is, to contact me, or call Crimestoppers anonymously."
