Police release image in appeal for information
In a social media post, a spokesperson for West Midlands Police said: "We want to speak to this woman after items were stolen from a shop in Dudley. It happened on High Street, Brierley Hill, at around 6.40pm on 24 July." The image shows a woman with seemingly brown hair wearing a dark top.
The appeal has been launched as part of ongoing efforts to trace the individual, who police believe could assist with their inquiries. No arrests have been reported in connection with the incident at this stage.
How to contact police with information
Members of the public with any information are urged to contact West Midlands Police via Live Chat on their website, or by calling 101, quoting reference number 20/337613/26. The police have not disclosed the specific items stolen or their value at this time.
The appeal follows other recent regional news, including Birmingham police officers on holiday who accidentally found missing man 'Little Mick' in Spain, and a Met Office warning of 'heavy' rain and thunderstorms across the Midlands during an 'unsettled' week.
Community urged to come forward
West Midlands Police continue to ask anyone who recognises the woman or has any details about the theft to come forward. The investigation remains ongoing, and officers are following all available leads.
The force has emphasised the importance of public assistance in resolving this case, and all information provided will be treated confidentially. The appeal is part of broader efforts to tackle shoplifting and theft across the Black Country, ensuring local businesses and residents feel safe.
