Dorset Police tell us three men entered the store at Weymouth Avenue Retail Park at around 4.25pm on Tuesday (22nd December).

They made off with two mobile phones.

One of them, a black iPhone 11 Pro, was recovered near the store, but a gold iPhone 12 Pro remains missing.

A CCTV image has been released, to see if anyone can help identify some men police want to speak to:

Do you recognise these men?

Similar incidents, also involving three men, also occurred at Currys stores in Taunton and Exeter later the same day.

In those cases, attempts to steal mobile phones were unsuccessful.

PC Melissa Woodsford, of Dorchester police, said:

"We are investigating this theft and I am issuing CCTV image of the suspects in the hope that someone might recognise them.

"I would urge anyone with information as to their identity, or anything else that might assist our investigation, to please contact us."
