VACUUM cleaners were stolen from a supermarket in Poole.

Police are appealing for witnesses after the break-in at Tesco in Tower Park at around 7.15pm on Sunday, April 16.

The offender forced entry into the store via an emergency exit door.

It is believed a number of vacuum cleaners were taken and loaded into a silver people carrier outside the store.

Police Constable Donal Doyle, of Poole police, said: “I believe there may have been people using the car park by the store at the time this incident happened and would ask any witnesses or anyone with information to please contact me.”
