The Go Local shop in Chester Road is appealing to the public for assistance in identifying a man who brazenly stole a £500 signed print from the store. Despite having installed CCTV due to repeated incidents of shoplifting over the past year, the thief managed to walk in on Saturday evening and make off with the valuable artwork.
The stolen print was a unique piece featuring The Stadium of Light, signed by one of the players. The owner, frustrated by the ongoing thefts, took to social media to ask anyone with information about the individual to contact either themselves or the police at 101.
Local residents are encouraged to be vigilant and report any relevant details that could help track down the culprit. The Go Local shop hopes that community cooperation will lead to the recovery of the stolen print and prevent further incidents.
