Witness appeal after Bishop’s Stortford theft

Dear Resident,

Police are appealing for witnesses and information following a theft in Bishop’s Stortford.

Shortly after 5.10pm on Wednesday 4 March, a man and a woman reportedly took items from within Tesco Express on Havers Lane without payment. When the suspects were challenged, a staff member was physically assaulted. 

The suspects then reportedly left on pedal cycles before returning to the shop a short time later, when a further altercation took place.

“Due to the time of day, I believe there may be several people who saw what happened. If you have any details, please report it.”
