POLICE are looking for a woman in connection with the theft of designer sunglasses worth hundreds of pounds from Lakeside Shopping Centre last month.

A woman was caught on CCTV at the same time a £314 pair of Chanel sunglasses was stolen from The Sunglass Hut at Lakeside Shopping Centre.

The suspect entered the store at 2.35pm on Friday, September 5.

She had then hidden a pair of Chanel sunglasses in her handbag before leaving the store without making any attempt to pay for them.

She is described as being aged in her 40s to 50s, with blonde hair and was at least 5ft 5in tall.

She was wearing white trousers, black sandals with a black vest and cardigan.

Anyone who recognises the woman is asked to call PC Nathan Dransfield from the Thurrock Neighbourhood Policing Team on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
