WHILE shoppers filled their baskets, a gang of three thieves brazenly filled their pockets with cash from two tills.
The daring raid happened at Felixstowe's Marks & Spencer store.
Two of the men kept look-out while their colleague opened the unattended tills and took out money – before walking out of the front door of the store.
Detective Sergeant Jeremy Curtis said: "We are following up a number of leads and would like to hear from anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area during the afternoon.
"We believe the men may have headed along Hamilton Road, down an alleyway into Highfield Road and could have been in the vicinity of the pay and display car park here.
