Thief caught on camera at golf club

A shoplifter who stole clothes worth hundreds of pounds from a prestigious golf club in Lichfield has struck again, according to police.

A thief was caught on camera taking a Footjoy waterproof golfing jacket worth £95 from the rail at the shop of the Lichfield Golf and Country Club, near Elmhurst and Hanch.

He then went back to a silver Vauxhall Vectra which was parked outside the club's store, which is off the A515 Tewnalls Lane.

Officers believe this theft, which happened on Friday, was done by the same man who stole a Calloway golf jacket and trousers worth £250 from the store in February. They are appealing for information about the man who is described as being in his 50s, with short, dark, greying hair.

Peter Stevens, a spokesman for the police, said: "These CCTV images were captured on the club's security system and police are appealing for the man or anyone with information about his identity to come forward."

Anyone with information is urged to contact officers.

They should call Lichfield police station on 0300 123 44 55 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111 quoting crime reference number is XA/103507/08.
