A RETAILER has offered a £1000 reward for information on a theft.

Home Bargains in Burnley is calling on witnesses to come forward following an incident at its Colne Road outlet on April 7.

The thief stole a trolley full of plants, hanging baskets and flowers. He was wearing dark trousers, black trainers and a green puffer jacket with his hood up.

Now, Home Bargains is offering up to £1,000 to anyone with information leading to a successful prosecution.

A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: “This was a brazen theft where the offender has literally walked out of the store with a shelving unit full of plants without paying for them.

“We would appeal to anyone who may have any information about this incident to come forward and speak to us."

Joe Morris, operations director at Home Bargains, said: “We take all incidents of theft in our stores extremely seriously and would urge anyone with information to come forward and contact police.”
