Dorset Police want to trace phone shop raiders

Police would like to hear from anyone with information about a raid on a mobile phone shop in Dorchester.

Four men went into Vodafone Ltd on Cornhill just before closing on Tuesday [19 February] and stole display mobile phones and two iPads, worth around £5,000.

The offenders entered the store during a busy period and ripped the items straight off the walls before making off.

I am very keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed this theft take place, or may have information about those involved.

I would also like to trace the stolen property and speak to anyone who has been offered mobiles or iPads in strange circumstances.

– Police Constable Garry Mason, Dorset Police
