Hello,

Can you help? Officers investigating a report of shoplifting in the Lymington area have today (24 July) released a CCTV image of a man they believe may be able to assist us with our enquiries.

It comes after we received a report that an unknown man had entered the shop ‘Between the Lines’ on the High Street at around 3.35pm on Monday 15 July.

It is alleged that the man became verbally aggressive towards staff members when challenged; having left the store without making payment with various items totalling a cost of £175.

Please see an image of the person of interest via our appeal on the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary website - CCTV image released following shoplifting incident in Lymington | Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary.
