POLICE have released CCTV footage of a man they would like to speak with following a shoplifting attempt in Poole.

A man entered the Tesco store at Fleetsbridge at around 4.15pm on Thursday September 21.

He was seen by security staff trying to remove the security tags from a number of items.

The man was asked to go with staff to the tills to pay for the items, but it was established he had no money and he was asked to leave the store.

A trolley was recovered containing £130.39 of goods.

Detective Sergeant Ian Allen, of Bournemouth CID, said: “As part of our investigation into this incident, I am releasing a CCTV image of a man we would like to speak to in the hope that somebody recognises him.

“I would urge anyone with information to please contact me.”
