Dorset Police have released CCTV images of four men they want to identify following a robbery at the Boots store in Redlands, Poole.

The incident took place at approximately 10.30am on Monday 6 April 2026. According to police, the four men entered the shop, cut the locks on fragrance display cabinets, and stole products valued at more than £1,200. During the robbery, the group also knocked over a display cabinet and shouted at staff members before fleeing the store.

Police Community Support Investigator Dave Singleton is leading the investigation into the incident. While the suspects attempted to cover their faces, investigators believe the men may be recognisable based on their general build and clothing.

Members of the public who have information or recognise the men are asked to contact Dorset Police online or by calling 101, quoting occurrence number 55260056360. Alternatively, information can be shared anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
