He said the alleged shoplifter was aware retailers used high-quality CCTV cameras these days and yet she made no effort to conceal her identity.
“She has been in Dunedin and hit a number of retailers,” he said.
“We know who she is and we are following active lines of inquiry. It won’t be unsolved.”
The woman’s photograph was posted to social media yesterday after she allegedly stole about $1000 worth of North Face clothing from a central city business.
