POLICE are continuing to appeal for information after two convenience stores were raided in Christchurch earlier this month.

In total, around £8,000 worth of cigarettes were stolen from two separate shops on consecutive nights.

A spokesman for Dorset Police said yesterday that no arrests have yet been made in connection with either incident.

Burglars smashed their way into the Premier convenience store on Jellicoe Drive at around 4am on Friday, October 17, and made off with approximately £4,000 worth of cigarettes.

The Central convenience store in Bure Lane was raided at around 12.30am on the previous night.

Again, around £4,000 worth of cigarettes were stolen from the premises.

Police are urging anyone with information to call Dorset Police on 101.
