Wiltshire Police is appealing for information after a gang of thieves targeted two shops in the Swindon area.

Around 4pm on Sunday 4 June 2017 at the One Stop in Purton a man entered the store and distracted a shop worker by asking about an item while two women followed him in and took a number of tins of baby milk powder – concealing it in their lined skirts.

All three then left the shop without making any effort to pay for the goods and drove off in a silver VW estate with an “04” number plate.

Approximately twenty minutes later, around 4.20pm, the same thing happened at the Co-op on Highdown Way, Swindon with the same items being taken.

CCTV images of three people officers would like to speak to in relation to these incidents are above.

If you can help with our enquiries please contact Local Crime Investigator Dee Williams on 101 or anonymously, via Crimestoppers, on 0800 555 111
