CCTV appeal following theft in Bournemouth

Police officers investigating a theft in Bournemouth have released a CCTV appeal for a man they are wanting to question in connection to the crime.

The theft occurred in Bournemouth on Saturday 22 December 2018.

A woman aged in her 70’s was using a self service at ASDA at Castlepoint and forgot to collect her £50 cash back that she requested.
