Nottinghamshire Police are appealing for the public’s help in solving a rather peculiar theft case involving a £500 Stone Island jacket at The White Hart Pub in Lenton. The incident occurred on Wednesday, February 7, and investigators have released a CCTV image of two individuals they believe could provide valuable information regarding the stolen coat.
The victim, a student enjoying an evening at The White Hart Pub, was unaware that his prized £500 jacket had slipped off a bench. Subsequently, CCTV footage captured two other patrons picking up the expensive garment. What followed was an unexpected turn of events as the duo appeared to engage in a game of ‘rock, paper, scissors’ to determine the rightful owner of the coat.
PC Jemma Fenn, from Nottinghamshire Police, expressed disappointment that the expensive jacket was not returned to the pub’s staff as lost property. PC Fenn stated, “We believe the two people in the image will be able to assist our inquiries, and I’d ask anyone who recognizes them to get in touch with us as soon as possible.”
The unique situation has caught the attention of both the local community and social media users, with many expressing amusement at the unconventional method employed by the two individuals in deciding the jacket’s fate. However, the seriousness of the matter is not lost on the police, who are keen to resolve the case and ensure justice is served.
