Police investigate theft of large gold sparkly reindeer

Suspected thieves who stole a large gold reindeer from a shop have been captured on camera brazenly walking out of the store with the £250 sparkly ornament.



The two suspects were seen walking out of the HomeSense store in the centre of Taunton, Somerset, and one of the men was captured on security camera with the ornament in his hands. They are now being hunted by police who are calling for any witnesses who might have seen two men walking in the street with a big gold reindeer.

Avon and Somerset Police said the incident happened at around midday on October 27 when two men walked into the store and selected the large gold sparkly animal before leaving without paying. Police are investigating the incident and have identified CCTV footage of two men they believe might have information that could help with their inquiries.



The first man is described as white, aged 50 to 58, 5ft 6ins, of stocky build, with shoulder length hair. The second man is described as white, 5ft 8ins, of stocky build. Anyone who recognises the two men or knows who they are or anyone with any information in relation to this incident is asked to please contact the police.
