A shopkeeper has revealed how he turned detective to track down a shoplifter after discovering goods stolen from his business for sale online.
Charlie Groves, who runs a garden centre in Bridport, Dorset, says he watched CCTV recordings of a woman concealing Jellycat toys in a pram carrying her child, before leaving the store without paying and getting into her car.
Mr Groves says he was able to piece together the woman's identity by scouring resale websites, deciphering her car's personalised number plate, and eventually finding her Facebook profile.
When he traced a seller on Vinted he suspected of selling on the stolen goods, Mr Groves discovered the man the account belonged to is married to the woman who had shoplifted the cuddly toys.
The National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) advises online shoppers to think carefully about whether something which appears to be a bargain is "too good to be true".
Vinted says it is "constantly mobilised to detect and counter new malicious behaviour", and reviews and improves processes when needed.
