PC Dan Roberts, of the Basingstoke Tasking Team, said: “This theft happened at a time of day when the car park would have been busy.
“We want to hear from anyone who has seen a man and woman matching the descriptions in the area. We are also keen to speak to anyone who has been the victim of a similar incident.
“We would remind shoppers to keep hold of their belongings at all times and lock vehicles when you are away from them, even if you are just returning a trolley.
“We would also encourage people to report any suspicious people to police.”
