Police Urge Thief To Hand Themselves In After Robbery In Carrick
Police have issued an appeal to a thief to hand themselves in after an elderly man had a significant amount of money stolen from his bag at Tesco's in Carrickfergus.
The man had left his bag in the toilet for a short time when the incident happened.
The money was for his disabled daughter's respite care.
Police described the incident as "despicable".
A PSNI spokesperson said: "A CCTV trawl of the store has provided us with high quality images of a suspect. Enquiries are ongoing and we are hopeful of identifying this suspect.
"Now, a message to the thief. If you feel any pang of guilt upon reading this, do the right thing and let us know. If you do this and return the money you will be helping yourself as well. We are hopeful that current lines of enquiry will result in a positive identification and you will receive a knock at the door. Should our current lines of enquiry not yield a name we will give consideration to releasing the images we hold on Social Media. So do yourself a favour and call 101 quoting reference number 991 of 01/08/18."
