POLICE are keen to trace these people in connection with a shoplifting incident in New Milton.

The incident unfolded at Tesco, in Caird Avenue, at shortly after noon on Wednesday, September 20.

“It was reported to us that two men had entered the store, picked up 14 electric toothbrushes, two towels and two bags, before leaving again without making any attempt to pay for the items,” a Hampshire Police spokesperson said.

The first person is described as white, around 25, around 5ft 10ins tall with a light, trimmed beard. He was wearing a baseball cap, black coat, red T-shirt, blue jeans and black footwear.
