Swadlincote Police are looking for two men thought to have been involved in a shoplifting incident at a High Street pharmacy.

A man took two bottles of perfume from Dean and Smedley and is believed to have been assisted by another man.

The theft took place last Wednesday and police are keen to hear from witnesses.

A social media post from Swadlincote's Safer Neighbourhood Team reads: "It's that time again when we're asking the good people of South Derbyshire for some help!

"On 28/04/2021, at approximately 3.15pm, a male in a cap has taken two bottles of perfume from Dean and Smedley on Swadlincote High Street.

"He has left the store without paying for them.

"There was also another male with him, who we believe is also involved.

"There were potentially three witnesses to this theft at the time, standing outside the shop, waiting to enter.

"If you are one of these witnesses or you know who they might be, please call in on 101 and quote crime reference number 21000234502.

"Alternatively, you can contact us via the following methods:

  • Facebook - send us a private message, either on this page or on the main Derbyshire Constabulary Facebook.
