PERFUME and Adidas shorts were stolen in two incidents at a Gillingham shop last month.

Police are investigating after thefts from the Original Factory Shop, in Station Road.

The first incident occurred at around 6am on Monday, March 25, when entry was forced to the shop.

A perfume cabinet was smashed and a large quantity of items stolen.

Then, at around 1.40pm on Thursday, March 28, police said suspects entered the store and concealed multiple pairs of Adidas shorts before leaving without paying.

“An investigation is underway into both incidents and we are appealing for anyone with information about who was responsible to please come forward,” a spokesperson said.

“We are also keen to hear from anyone who has seen perfume or Adidas shorts being offered for sale locally at a reduced price or in large quantities.”

The incidents came just days after several shops in the town – including the Original Factory Shop – were targeted by vandals overnight between March 19 and 20.
