"A man approaches the shelf and picks up three android computer tablets. He then walks to another part of the shop where he puts one of the tablets on the floor and proceeds to conceal in a bag before walking away," gardai Greg Freegrove told viewers.

"Minutes later, he returned to the same spot, picks up the remaining tablet and puts that into his bag as well. The man then walks out of the shop carrying the three concealed devices and leaves without paying for any of them," he added.

Anyone who recognises the suspect who stole the android devices is asked to contact Newcastle West garda station or any garda station.
