‼️THEFT CAUGHT ON CAMERA TODAY‼️

🆘 PLEASE SHARE (We are a small family business and with rising costs year on year, we will not tolerate this)
If you visited today with two young girls and allowed them back in the shop alone….
GIRL 1 - Approx. 7/8 years old - Blonde hair, wearing turquoise T-shirt and shorts set
GIRL 2 - Approx. 7/8 years old - Blonde hair, wearing white top and black shorts

We have clear CCTV footage of these girls constantly looking round at staff and waiting until staff were distracted serving customers then stealing soft toys on two separate occasions this afternoon around 3pm.

We would be grateful if you could contact us as soon as possible to resolve before we take this footage to the police.

Our staff member recognised you as regular customers so it would be a shame to risk being banned from visiting in the future.
