AlertSystems Respond to News of Thief Caught on CCTV in Shrewsbury Shop
(PRWEB UK) 24 December 2013 -- According to an article published in the Shropshire Star on the 18th December 2013, a CCTV has allegedly captured a thief in the act of stealing £220 straight from a shop till unnoticed. The shop owner’s son was running the shop at the time and claims not to have seen the suspect at all. The boy on the CCTV footage was allegedly seen walking around the shop before nipping behind the counter and taking all the £20 notes from the till before leaving. The boy is described as young (possibly 18-19), skinny with very short hair.
