POLICE want to find a man and a woman captured on CCTV after two incidents of shoplifting in South Gloucestershire.

They have released pictures of the man and the woman after the thefts at Sainsburys in Stoke Gifford and Tesco in Bradley Stoke.

The first happened on May 5 when a woman entered Sainsburys in Stoke Gifford at about 6.55pm and took a quantity of alcohol and left the store without paying.

Two days later the same woman entered Tesco in Bradley Stoke and again selected alcohol which she failed to pay for as she left the store.

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Constabulary said: "A member of staff challenged her as she was leaving the store and a man who was with her assaulted the store assistant.

"We have issued images of two people who were in the store at the time of the incident who may have useful information to help our enquiries.

"We would like them – or anyone recognising them – to contact us. Call 101 quoting reference 5216097276 or 5216098299."
