Police find man asleep in car after £1,500 theft at Harrogate Sainsbury's

Thieves attempted to steal goods worth £1,500 from Harrogate's Sainsbury's.

Police found a man asleep in a parked car after staff reported a suspected theft at Sainsbury's on Harrogate's Wetherby Road.

Officers were called just before 2pm on Monday (9th November).

Staff said they had seen three men acting suspiciously in the alcohol aisle before trying to leave without paying for goods worth almost £1,500.

North Yorkshire Police said staff stopped two of the men. The third left the store after behaving aggressively towards staff.

Officers found car keys on one of the two men and traced the vehicle to a nearby car park, where they found the third man asleep inside.

The three men, aged 25, 36 and 56, are all from the Nottingham area.

They were charged with theft and remanded in custody ahead of a scheduled court appearance yesterday (Tuesday).
