Wiltshire Police are investigating a burglary at the John Lewis store in the Designer Outlet Village, Swindon.

Between 4.45-6:16 am on Monday 10 September 2018, two men broke into the store and stole items including televisions, sound bars and set-top boxes with an estimated combined value of over £19,000. It is believed that the men used a red Corsa to transport the stolen goods from the scene.

The first man is described as white, approximately 5'6/7 in height, of slim build aged in his mid 20s-early 30's. He was wearing a black hoody with the hood up and dark coloured trousers. 

The second man was white, approximately 5'5, of similar age to the first man but slightly stockier build with short dark hair. He was wearing what appeared to be jogging bottoms and a dark top.

PC William Saunders who is investigating the incident said: "I would like to hear from anyone who saw any suspicious activity or the red Corsa in the area around Firefly Avenue and the National Trust Building in the early hours of 10 September."

If you have information about this burglary please contact PC William Saunders on 101 quoting ref *85279. Or call Crimestoppers 0800 555 111 anonymously if preferred.
