POLICE have appealed for help to identify two men after the theft of a laptop worth £1,800 from an electrical store.

Two men entered Currys in Mallard Road at around 1pm on Friday May 3 and left without paying for an Asus GL 5046M laptop.

Officers have also issued the serial number of the laptop - J7NRCV00L118316 - in the hope of tracing it.

Police Sergeant Carmel Ryan, of Dorset Police, said: “I would urge anyone who recognises these men to contact us and we would also like to hear from anyone who has been offered a laptop matching the description given for sale in suspicious circumstances.”

Anyone with information is urged to call Dorset Police on 101, quoting occurrence number 55190066846, or the free and anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111.
