Police investigating a series of shoplifting offences have issued CCTV of several people they wish to speak to.

The shoplifting offences occurred at various locations across Swanley and Sevenoaks on several days in October and the images relate to three separate unrelated incidents.

The first happened on Wednesday, October 3, when two women went into the Asda store in Swanley and filled a trolley with more than £1,000 worth of goods, including clothing, home and leisure products and groceries.

It is alleged they then left the store without making any attempts to pay.

Then on Friday, October 5, in Sevenoaks High Street, two expensive watches were taken from a jeweller.

The man is reported to have gone into the shop and hid the items in his pocket.

Police are also investigating threats made to staff on Wednesday 17, after a suspected shoplifter was challenged at the Coop fuel station in Swanley High Street.

It is alleged the man left the shop without paying for a number of cleaning products,

He is then said to have threatened to stab an employee, however, no weapon was seen by the staff.

Sevenoaks Inspector Nick Finnis said: "Shoplifting is never a victimless crime as the cost is always passed on to genuine customers.

"The people pictured may have important information which will assist our investigations, so if you recognise a face please don’t hesitate to get in touch."

Anyone with information should call 01622 604100 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
