CCTV image of woman police want to speak to about phone theft in Spalding shop

Police in Spalding  investigating the theft of a customer’s phone from a shop in Market Place have issued a CCTV image.

The theft happened on Thursday, December 4, in Peacocks’ store. The owner of the phone put it on a clothes rail while shopping at around 10am. She walked away, forgetting to pick it up and when she returned a short time later, it was gone.

Review of the shop’s CCTV shows a woman picking up the phone and putting it in her bag. The phone is a black iPhone 4 in a white case with a pink and turquoise Aztec design on it.
