CCTV appeal launched after expensive bottles of alcohol are stolen from a Sainsbury's store in Hemel Hempstead

A CCTV appeal has been launched after up to £1,000 worth of goods were stolen from a supermarket in Hemel Hempstead.

Hertfordshire Constabulary estimates that alcohol up to the value of £1000 were taken from Sainsbury’s supermarket on Shenley Road on Monday 17 July.

The police force has confirmed the theft took place between eight and 8:11am.

Once the bottles were stolen from the store, offenders stacked them into a Ford Focus which had no registration plates.
