A BURGLAR stole a large amount of vaping merchandise from a shop on Commercial Road earlier this month.

The break-in occurred between 6pm on Thursday November 9 and 8.20am on Friday November 10.

The offender forced entry through the rear of the store and stole a lot of stock.

Wiltshire Police is appealing for information.

PC Ed Rogers, from Gablecross Police Station, said: "We would like to hear from anyone who may have witnessed anything suspicious in this part of Swindon around the time of the break-in.

"It is also likely that the offender will be trying to sell this stock on, so we are also asking members of the public to contact us if they have been approached by people attempting to sell bulk or abnormally cheap vaping paraphernalia."

Anyone with information should contact PC Rogers on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
