Arrests made after perfumes are stolen from Boots
Police have arrested two men after perfumes and an electric toothbrush worth nearly £600 were stolen from Boots in Market Drayton.
They say a man walked into the Cheshire Street shop at around 4.15pm on Tuesday and stole 13 bottles of perfume from a shelf on the fragrance display, putting them into a large black holdall bag.
Police Constable Graham Salem, the investigating officer, said the thief stepped behind the fragrance till and swept the contents of one of the shelves into his bag. The stolen perfume is valued at £480.
He was also seen putting a Colgate electric toothbrush worth £100 from a shelf into the holdall before fleeing the store, making no effort to pay.
Two men, aged 25 and 23, have been arrested in connection with the incident and given police bail, with conditions, while inquiries continue.
PC Salem said: “I am appealing for witnesses who may have seen this man to contact Market Drayton police station by calling 101.
“I would also like to hear from anyone who knows his identity or the whereabouts of the stolen products.”
