Whisky Galore: £9,500 Bottle Nicked

A rare £9,500 bottle of Scottish single malt whisky has been spirited out of a specialist dealer in the heart of the Square Mile.

City of London Police have released these two CCTV images of the suspected thieves and are requesting the assistance of the public in identifying them.

The valuable bottle of Macallan was stolen at approximately 5.41pm on Monday, March 14 from Tomoka Fine & Rare, Royal Exchange.

CCTV images show a man and woman standing outside the store for around thirty minutes, before entering separately. 

The woman then left the store and was last seen walking towards Throgmorton Street.

After both suspects left the store, it was found that the £9,500 bottle of rare Macallan whisky was missing.

Police Constable Niall Bowes, of City of London Police, said: “Thefts from businesses aren’t victimless crimes, and this incident has caused significant financial loss to an independent retailer in the City.

“We are keen to speak to anybody who recognises the individuals in the CCTV images, or who may know anything about the incident which could assist with the investigation.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact the City of London Police by calling 0207 601 2107 and quoting 22000149693.
