Police issue CCTV appeal over shoplifting at Boots store in Mansfield

Nottinghamshire Police have released a CCTV image of a man over the theft of £1,400 worth of cosmetic products from a Boots store on Sunday (18 June).

Police have made appeal they would like to speak to the man in the CCTV image to in connection with the theft from a Boots store in St Peter’s Retail Park, Mansfield.


On Sunday (18 June) boxes of eye serum were stolen from the store at around 10.35am. Officers would like to trace the man pictured as they continue with their inquiries into the theft.

Police Constable Beth Richards, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Shoplifting is not a victimless crime. Offences of this sort can have a hugely detrimental impact on retailers and wider communities.

"We have carried out initial inquiries but are now asking the public to assist us in identifying who this person might be - as he could help aid our investigation.

"Do you know who this man is? Were you in the store at the time? "Anyone with information is asked to call 101, quoting incident number 367 of 19 June 2023. "Alternatively, you can contact independent charity, Crimestoppers, anonymously on 0800 555 111."
