THESE seasonal suspects are wanted by police after a large quantity of cigarettes and cash disappeared from an Oxford shop.

The suspects were caught on a CCTV camera at New Marston Stores, in Marston Road, on Friday, December 3, at about 3.30pm, when a group of about nine people walked into the shop.

Some of them allegedly went into a storeroom and stole cigarettes, worth £5,000, and cash.

We are revealing pictures of three of the gang as part of our Badvent Calendar, where a different criminal suspect is unveiled everyday until Father Christmas comes.

Police want readers to take a look at the faces and name them so they can bring the gang of thieves to justice.

Pc Andy Poole said: “The suspects went into the shop at a very busy time when the school was finishing and left through the front door. We believe they stole about £5,000 worth of cigarettes.

“Somebody must recognise the people in the CCTV, if you do then please contact police.

“Were you in Marston on this date? Did you see a group of people acting suspiciously? If you have any information that you think could assist our inquiries, then please get in touch.”

Anyone with information should call Pc Poole on 08458 505505 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
