  • Hampshire Police have launched an appeal after 17 bottles of Champagne worth £850 were stolen from a Waitrose store in Havant.
  • Police have released an image of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the theft on 27 July.
  • The appeal follows calls from Andy Burnham for police forces across England and Wales to take a firm stance against shoplifting.

  • Official statistics show recorded shoplifting in England and Wales fell by 4 per cent over the past year, while business robberies nearly doubled due to updated Home Office recording guidelines.
