Police are searching for this woman after she was seen stealing a £179 television from Marks and Spencer in Wilmslow.

CCTV operators at the Handforth Dean store watched the suspect, who was pushing a buggy, pick up the television and walk out without paying at around 1pm on Thursday, June 9.

Inspector Matt Welsted said: "She picked up a £179 television and walked around the shop with it, walked out, got into her car and drove off."

He added: "(Marks and Spencer's) has CCTV operators and uniformed guards who can identify people very quickly using their experience.

"On this occasion they have come across a woman via CCTV carrying a television she thought it looked suspicious because it wasn't bagged or labelled.

"Unfortunately they couldn't get to her quickly enough before she could make an escape."
