Police were called at 2.45pm on Wednesday 21 December following reports of a man shoplifting in a Morrison’s store on Prince Charles Road in Exeter.
Two men, both wearing identical clothing, entered the store at around the same time. Whilst in the store, the two men went in different directions. One of the men proceeded to fill up a green carrier bag with items and then left the store without payment.
This same man was followed out of the store and by a member of staff and was challenged in the carpark where he produced a knife, before running off.
