A MAN is due to appear in court following an alleged shoplifting incident in Broadstone.

On Thursday, March 21, a man reportedly went into the M&S Foodhall in Lower Blandford Road on three occasions between 5.15pm and 5.42pm and selected bottles of champagne to the total value of £362. It is alleged he left the store without any attempts to pay.

A CCTV appeal was issued by officers in April.

A 52-year-old man from Poole has been issued with a postal requisition for a theft offence and is due to appear at Poole Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, June 25.
