TWO men ran into a store and grabbed £540 worth of jeans during a busy afternoon.
At about 3.15pm on Friday, thieves ran into Burton Menswear, in Newgate Street, Bishop Auckland, and snatched 12 pairs of men's Levi jeans.
Both men were about 25-years old, 6ft, with short brown hair. One wore a blue polo-necked T-shirt and navy jeans, the other wore a salmon pink T-shirt.
They made off in a red Ford Fiesta, registration A29 DVN, which was waiting for them in a car park at Kingsway, and was driven by a blonde woman.
A police spokesman said: "We think the car possibly had false number plates and we are appealing for any witnesses to come forward, or anyone who knows the whereabouts or identity of the people responsible for this."
They should contact PC Justin Thornberry at Bishop Auckland Police on (01388) 603566
