A MAN is wanted by Gwent Police – after stealing 17 bottles of alcohol from a Torfaen store.
It happened at the Tesco superstore in Lower Bridge Street, Pontypool on Wednesday, August 4, and police were notified around 5.40pm.
The man entered the store between 12.45pm and 1.10pm, loading several items into a trolley, including the 17 bottles of alcohol – notably high value spirits.
He then reportedly removed the security tags from the bottles, covered them with other items of shopping and then left the store without paying.
