Officers investigating the theft of clothing from two stores are issuing CCTV images of the suspect.
At around 5.50pm on Saturday 26 January 2019 a man entered the TK Maxx store at the Meteor Retail Park in Christchurch and selected a number of clothing items before leaving the premises without paying.
A similar incident occurred at the TK Maxx store in West Howe on Friday 1 February 2019, which officers believe involved the same male offender.
The total value of clothing taken during the two thefts was approximately £400. Police Sergeant Carmel Ryan, of Dorset Police, said: “We are carrying out enquiries into these two incidents and are issuing CCTV images of the suspect in the hope that someone will recognise him.
“I would urge anyone with information as to his identity to contact us.”
