CCTV appeal following robbery at Formby supermarket

We have released CCTV images of two men who could have information following a robbery at a supermarket in Formby.

At around 8.15pm on Saturday 25 January, it was reported that two men tried to steal a large quantity of razors from Tesco, on Altcar Road.

During attempts to take the items, a security guard was pushed and the two suspects managed to escape without paying.

Enquiries have been ongoing since the incident and we are now issuing images of two people who we believe could have information.

Detective Constable Alexa Collins said: “This was a brazen attempt to steal a large quantity of items from a shop without paying.

“In their attempts to flee the scene, they have pushed a security guard and acted in an aggressive manner, which is completely unacceptable.

“Stealing from a supermarket is not a victimless crime and can have an impact on innocent staff members who are just trying to do their job.

“If you recognise either of these two men, please let us know because we believe they could have information to help our ongoing enquiries.”

Anyone with any information on this incident is asked to contact us @MerPolCC on X, ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’ on Facebook or ring 101 with reference 25000074097.
