A distinctive hand tattoo could identify a woman wanted for questioning over a groceries heist at Leopold, according to police.
Investigators released a security camera image of the woman this week, saying she could “assist” them with their investigation.
The image showed the dark-haired woman with the tattoo on her left hand.
Police alleged the woman joined a male accomplice to swipe a “trolley full of various groceries” after entering Coles Leopold between 2.19pm and 2.45pm on 9 June.
“This female was then observed to walk out of the store talking on her mobile leaving the trolley in the fresh produce area,” police said.
“Shortly after an unknown male has entered the fresh produce area and has pushed the trolley through the entry area making no attempt to pay for any of the items.
“Both the male and the female were seen to load these groceries into a silver/grey ute described as a Ford Ranger or similar with registration plates URF 483, which (do) not come up to this vehicle, and then leave the area.
Police described the woman as Caucasian, with long black hair and wearing an olive coloured top, ripped blue jeans and white runners.
“The male is described as wearing all black with black shoes and a black baseball cap,” police said.
“Police wish to speak to the female pictured who was in the vicinity at the time of the offence and who they believe will be able to assist them with this investigation.
“If you have any information regarding this offence or the identity of the female you are requested to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 and quote incident number 190204651.”
