“While running from the store, he was seen to shout at a man driving an electric-blue coloured car which may have been a Corsa and then running into the Tesco car park.”

Witnesses, or anyone with information about the theft, is asked to contact Northamptonshire Police on 101 or they can call independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
