‘Threat to kill’ at Poole phone shop

Dorset Police are appealing for witnesses following an incident at the Three phone shop in Poole High Street when a man became aggressive.

The customer was described as five feet 10 inches tall with short dark hair, and was wearing blue jeans, a black top and a bumbag with red stripes on it.
