iPod theft footage released

Police have released CCTV footage taken at the time a young girl's $300 iPod was stolen in the hope it will help identify the people involved.

Hayley Galloway's silver iPod was taken from the self-service checkout area at Countdown Papamoa on August 19.


Police are asking for help in identifying the man pictured in the CCTV footage.

The six-year-old had put her iPod down as she helped her father load groceries.

Martin, Hayley's dad, says he had told her not to take her iPod out but on this occasion she had.

'She had put her iPod on the table behind us and we went to grab it after getting the bags and it was gone.

Countdown management staff later told Martin they found CCTV footage of a man taking the iPod.

The footage has since been passed onto police who have released it to SunLive in the hopes of identifying those involved.

Senior Constable Adrian Oldham says the footage shows a man reaching over the counter and taking the iPod.

Adrian says the man of interest was with his partner, their baby and two children.

'The woman is described as being in her early 20s with long black hair, reasonably attractive, and she is holding what looks to be a one-year-old child.

'The man that stole it is about the same age and was wearing brown chinos with a black sweatshirt, white sandshoes and a black beanie.”

Adrian says police would like to talk to the couple as he believes they might be able to help with the investigation.

People with information about the iPod are asked to contact their local police station or alternatively, information can be left anonymously via the Crimestoppers 0800 555 111 line.
