SHOP workers have stuck pictures of a suspected shoplifter in their window.
Staff at Quix, in Cowley Road, Oxford, put up three images of the man taken from the shop’s CCTV security cameras.
Manager Sherazi Khalid said the footage showed the man stuffing £60 worth of cough sweets – Lockets and Halls Soothers – under his jacket and leaving without paying.
Mr Khalid said: “I want to name and shame those who steal from my shop.
“The police said it was a good idea and people might think twice about stealing from Quix again if they know we’re going to put their photo in the window.”
Thames Valley Police spokesman Claire Gourlay said officers were investigating the incident, which happened at about 1.10pm, on Thursday, October 22.
Anyone with information should call police on 08458 505505 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
