Shoplifter: Colne

Do You Know Him?

DO you recognise this alleged shoplifter? He is reported to have stole all the bacon from the fridge cabinet at the Nisa convenience store in Skipton Road, Colne, on Friday.

The shop's CCTV shows him coming into the shop and piling the bacon into the blue holdall seen here over his shoulder at around 6 p.m.
He returned to the shop apparently for more loot just two days later, at around 3 p.m. on Sunday. This time, he emptied the shelves of cheese, taking 34 packs worth a total of £54.

The shop owners said that thefts like these affect everyone who uses the shop, as they were unable to restock until the next delivery, and that could affect trade.

Police said that he may be from outside Colne, or have recently moved to the area, as they do not recognise him. Anyone who can identify the man, who is around 25 years old, six feet tall, with a shaven head, wearing a silver Adidas bubble jacket, should contact police.

It's quite a clear photo Neal so someone will know who this is!!
Shoplifting is seen these days as "petty crime" I think crime is crime and we end up having to pay more for food etc because of it!:(

I would be more worried about what he is going to do with all that cheese. Surely someone must spot someone like that with a big bubble coat on in the summer. My guess is that he has just come out of prison, thats why the police dont recognise him. He looks like a smackhead. He will be from around colne or know someone round there if thats the case. My suggestion would be for the police to check the CCTV footage in the area. He would have done more than just nick the cheese. Its not as if he will be hard to spot. But then again, maybe they dont have the time...
I have always said that there should be a site (like crimestoppers) for things like this. But a local one.

Yes, I agree. That's a druggie if ever I saw one and the food was definately for re-sale.

I travel through Colne and will keep a look out for him!

Funny, I'm sure that I replied to this thread?

I wonder if he has been caught yet as this was nearly a couple of weeks ago.
