Detectives in Poole are appealing for witnesses and anyone with information to come forward after a commercial burglary at a boating shop along the Quay.

The incident, in which offenders forced entry into Piplers of Poole, a chandlery on Poole Quay, and stole items, happened at around 4am on Saturday 26 November 2011.

The offenders reversed a car into the entrance doors in order to gain entry.

Detective Constable Martin Farrington, of Bournemouth and Poole CID, said: “I believe that the offenders used a Nissan Micra to force through the front entrance and this vehicle will have sustained rear end damage.

“The thieves stole a number of seafarer style jackets and drove off along the Quay in the direction of the Poole lifting bridge. 

“The value of the stolen jackets and the damage caused at the scene is believed to be several thousand pounds.

“I am appealing for anyone with any information about this burglary, the identification of the offenders, the location of the stolen jackets and the identification of the vehicle involved to contact me urgently.”
