A WOMAN is due to appear in court after gin was reportedly stolen from the John Lewis store in Poole.

At around 4.25pm on Monday, December 3, 2018, a woman entered the store on Poole Retail Park and allegedly put a bottle of gin in a bag before making off without paying.

Following a CCTV appeal, a 30-year-old Poole woman attended for a voluntary interview with police and has now been issued with a postal requisition to appear at Poole Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, February 19, 2019, for an offence of theft.
