A clumsy burglar in Cheltenham left her trainers at the crime scene and fled barefoot after a break-in, police have reported.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday, October 2, on Parabola Road. Two individuals—a man and a woman—forced their way into a building through a fire exit, according to Gloucestershire police.
Once inside, the woman grabbed the till drawer before being disturbed by staff. In her haste to escape, she abandoned her trainers and left the premises barefoot. She was described as wearing a coat with a pink lining and the hood up.
Police are appealing for information. Anyone with details is asked to quote incident 040 of October 2, 2025. The force advises reporting non-emergency crime online or calling 999 in an emergency.
