Police are hunting a brazen girl gang who marched around a shop in an upmarket seaside town stealing croissants, while others walked behind the tills and snatched hundreds of pounds worth of cigarettes. Two of the youngsters were seen going behind the counter and grabbing age-restricted goods that appeared to include lottery scratch cards, before pulling aside the cigarette display.
Another pair bagged up bakery items such as croissants and appeared to be holding bottles of soft drinks and other treats. As one of the girls was behind the tills, she was confronted by a member of staff, before they all fled the store in Hove, East Sussex.
The four women are now wanted in connection with the stealing rampage at the Tesco Express in Denmark Villas - next to Hove train station - at around 7.25pm on July 18. Semi-detached houses in this street can sell for around £1.7million, while the average property price for the area is about £630,000.
