Lincolnshire Police are asking for help to identify a man captured on CCTV at an antiques shop in the county.

Posting to their Facebook page Stamford, Bourne and Deeping Police, a force spokesperson said: “We are seeking help to identify the man pictured.

“Officers are investigating after jewellery was stolen from a shop in Stamford.

“A man entered St Martins Antiques Centre and asked to see some items on the lower shelves behind a glass cabinet. While the member of staff was reaching down, the man took several items from the top shelf before leaving the shop.

“The offence took place in October 2023, but has only just been reported to us, so we are now asking for help to identify the man pictured as we believe he may be able to help with our enquiries.”
