Officers are issuing CCTV images of two men they would like to identify as they investigate a reported fraud incident at a store in Bournemouth.

At around 12.45pm on Tuesday 26 November 2024 two men entered Roberta Boutique in Westover Road and attempted to purchase more than £9,000 worth of stock using a card.

However, the payment did not go through but the men left with the items, making off in a vehicle – believed to be a black Ford Galaxy.

Police Constable Alexander Cottingham, of Bournemouth police, said: “We are continuing to investigate this incident and explore all available lines of enquiry to identify the men involved.

“We are now in a position to issue CCTV images of two men we are looking to identify as part of our enquiries and I would urge anyone who recognises them to please contact us.”
