POLICE are hunting a couple who stole a haul of perfume from a Hampshire store.

The man and woman were captured on CCTV as they walked into the Superdrug shop, in Victoria Road, Woolston.

The man placed a holdall on the floor as he began distracting staff at the sales counter. As he did this, the woman filled up the bag with perfume products before the man picked up the bag and fled without paying.

Officers investigating the theft have released the images today in the hope that someone will recognise them and come forward with information to help catch them.

Anyone with information about the theft, which happened around midday on December 21, should contact PC Schillemore, at Southampton Central police station on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
