Marty wouldn’t approve! Hoverboard thief swipes crate of energy drink from Mitcham Co-op and scoots away

A sweet-toothed sports drink fanatic who wheeled into a Mitcham supermarket on a hoverboard, snatched a crate of lucozade and made a speedy escape is being sought by police.

Police were called on September 6 to a report of a man who had entered the Co-op supermarket at around 9.45pm on Streatham Road, Mitcham on the machine.

CCTV from the store captured the man’s movements in and out of the store.

He is described as a black man and was seen wearing a grey tracksuit top and bottoms.

Police are keen to hear from anyone who may recognise the man captured in the footage.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting image 192069 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
