Two men have made off with thousands of pounds worth of stock from a boutique in Bournemouth - with police investigating.

They attempted to buy £9,000 worth of items from Roberta Boutique in Westover Road using a car, but the payment didn't go through.

They then left with the items and made off in a car - believed to be a Ford Galaxy.

Dorset Police have now given us CCTV images of two men they'd like to trace in connection with the fraud that happened back in November.

PC Alexander Cottingham, of Bournemouth police, said: “We are continuing to investigate this incident and explore all available lines of enquiry to identify the men involved.

“We are now in a position to issue CCTV images of two men we are looking to identify as part of our enquiries and I would urge anyone who recognises them to please contact us.”
