Police investigating an attempted theft have released the images of three women they want to speak to.

The attempt to steal from a Maidstone supermarket last week was foiled by a member of staff.

The incident happened at around 6.30pm on May 26, at Tesco in Grovewood Drive North, Weavering.

The three suspects reportedly pushed a shopping trolley full of alcohol and groceries towards the exit, hoping to leave with it.

However, they ran off after being challenged by a member of staff.

Officers investigating the incident have released CCTV images from the shop, showing three women they believe could help with their enquiries.

Anybody who recognises any of them or has information that may assist the investigation is urged to call Kent Police on 01622 604100, quoting crime reference number 46/89831/21
