POLICE are keen to trace these people after mobile phones were stolen – and staff assaulted – during a robbery at a Hampshire supermarket.

Officers have issued a CCTV image of three people they would like to speak to after an incident at Tesco in Caird Avenue, New Milton, at between 11am and 11.30am on Friday, September 29.

“On that day, it was reported to us that three men had taken mobile phones from within the store,” a Hampshire Police spokesperson said.

“It was also reported that staff members, as well as other customers inside the shop at the time, had been assaulted during the incident.

“One staff member was reportedly pushed to the ground, suffering a bruised back in the process.”

The men are described as Asian, 5ft 10ins to 6ft tall, of slim build, dressed smartly and wearing black, shiny body warmers.

“We believe the men in this image can help us with our investigation and would urge them, or anyone who knows their identity, to get in touch with us,” the spokesperson added.

“Also, if you have information about this incident, saw anything suspicious in the area at the time, or have any CCTV, mobile phone, dash cam or doorbell camera footage which could aid our investigation, please contact us.”
