$10,500 of lingerie stolen from Christchurch store

Women's lingerie worth $10,500 was stolen from a Christchurch inner-city department store last week.

Police said three men, each carrying four large shopping bags, were seen acting suspiciously about 10pm last Thursday in central Christchurch.

The men are described as two caucasians and one Maori in their late 20s to early 30s, of skinny build and wearing loose clothing.

The lingerie includes brand names such as Bendon, Triumph, Lovable, Wonderbra and Elle Macpherson.
