Police appeal following reported thefts from Bury store

Police are appealing for information following reports of a theft at a Bury store.

At around 2.25pm on Boxing Day, a child was spotted folding a coat and lifting it over a security barrier at a shop on Union Street.

The sum of the items taken totalled more than £400. The child then left with a group.

Investigators have now released an image of two adults they would like to talk to, as it is believed they could assist with their enquiries.

If you have any information, contact police via 101 or gmp.police.uk, quoting log 852 of 27/12/24.

Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
