A THIEF stole items from a One Stop shop in Malvern.

The man entered the One Stop in Pickersleigh Road at around 5.15pm on Saturday, December 5.

He asked for two packs of Carling and a confectionary item, but after receiving the items he left without paying.

The man dropped the confectionary and went towards Edith Berry Court, followed by staff from the store.

When he was challenged the man threw a case towards the staff, then ran off with one case.

He is described as white, around 5 foot 7 inches, stocky build with a small round face and a moustache. He had an Irish accent, and was wearing dark clothing and a dark beanie hat.
