Stock worth ‘hundreds of pounds’ stolen from Coalpit Heath shop

TWO people have been charged with theft after stock worth “hundreds of pounds” was stolen from the Sainsbury’s supermarket in Coalpit Heath.

Sharmarke Abdiqaadir, aged 37, of no fixed address, and 36-year-old Kerrie Callan, of Fishponds, were arrested on the Bristol and Bath Railway Path near Gratitude Road in Easton on Thursday April 17.

Avon & Somerset police said the arrests had been made “during a proactive policing deployment” on the path.

The thefts from the Sainsbury’s Local store in Badminton Road took place in March.

Abdiqaadir was due to make a first appearance at Bristol Magistrates’ Court over the weekend.

Callan is due to appear at the same court in May.
