POLICE are appealing for information following a shoplifting incident at SJ Sports in Okehampton on Saturday where £1,000 worth of jackets were stolen.
Three youths walked into the shop at around 3.15pm, took seven jackets off the rails and threatened the 16-year-old shop assistant before making off, said PC Dave Woodland.
The three culprits were all described as white and aged 18-19. The first was 5'8" tall, small but quite muscly, with short hair and wearing a checkered baseball cap and scarf.
The second was an inch shorter, thin, was clean shaven and had a tanned complexion. He was wearing a baseball cap with two tassels on the back and a dark hooded jacket, similar to a Puffa jacket but less padded.
The third youth was 5'8" tall, with ginger hair and a short fringe gelled to his forehead and a spotty complexion. He was wearing a T-shirt with blue and white stripes on both arms.
The jackets stolen included Oakley, Nike and Adidas makes and two three-quarter length animal jackets.
