At about 4.20pm on Friday 17 April 2020 a man entered a bottle shop on Princess Road in Balga.
After picking up a pack of pre-mixed alcohol the man approached the counter but attempted to leave without paying.
A female staff member moved to stop the man from leaving, but he forcibly pushed her out of the way. The pack split causing the drinks to fall to the ground. He picked up one of the cans and walked away.
Police have released a CCTV image of a man who they believe may be able to assist them with their investigation.
The man is described as: tan skin, solid build with long, dark curly hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a yellow t-shirt and black shorts.
