Thieves could be trying to sell on items stolen during a burglary.
Kent Police are investigating sales of heavily-discounted electrical goods which were stolen during a raid on Currys PC World in Horsted Retail Park, Maidstone Road, Chatham.
The break-ins were reported on the mornings of Friday, March 22 and Sunday, March 24.
Kent Police are carrying out inquiries, including reviewing CCTV and checking for forensics.
No arrests have been made so far.
Police Constable James Dark, the investigating officer for the case, said: "The offenders for both of these burglaries gained entry by forcing their way in through the back of the building, an area that was not visible or accessible to the general public.
"It is however possible that people have recently been approached by individuals offering to sell high end items, such as iPhones, at prices much lower than the usual retail price.
"Likewise, someone may be aware of a person who has suddenly come into a large amount of cash, or electronic equipment, that they are unable to account for.
"While these cheap deals may sound tempting, we believe there is a high chance these items are stolen property and we are urging anyone with information to call us on 01634 792209 quoting 46/54964/19.
"Alternatively contact the independent charity Crimestoppers in Kent anonymously on 0800 555 111.’
