A police investigation has been launched after two shoplifters stole items worth hundreds from Co-op.

The incident, which took place on Tuesday, October 29, saw two individuals enter Co-op in Blackmore Road, Melksham, and fill their trolley with £200 worth of goods and then leave the shop without paying.

This is believed to have taken place at around 6.40pm, and CCTV images from outside the store show two people who officers now want to speak with.

A man with red hair wearing a beige jumper and blue jeans, and a brunette woman who is wearing grey clothing and pushing a trolley, were both caught on CCTV.
