CCTV image released after Fareham supermarket theft

Do you recognise this man?

Officers are continuing their investigation into a theft from a motor vehicle at the Locks Heath Centre in Fareham and would like to speak to him in connection with the incident.

It comes after the victim, a woman in her 80s, had been shopping in Waitrose when she noticed an unknown man appear to be following her at around midday on Wednesday 15 March.

She has then gone to the carpark and noticed the same man nearby. The victim has then gone to return her trolley and got back to her car to find her handbag had been stolen from the boot.

Her bank cards were later used to withdraw cash and make an online payment; albeit the money has since been recovered by her bank.

We have conducted a number of enquiries and are now asking the public for help in identifying this man.

Do you know who he is? Have you seen him in the local community before? Or maybe you even witnessed the theft?
