Police are searching for two men after £300 worth of meat was stolen from a Hampshire supermarket - and staff were reportedly threatened with a moving car.

The incident took place at Asda in Havant’s Purbrook Way on Monday, May 6 - and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary officers are appealing to the public for witnesses.

A force spokesperson said: “Do you recognise these men?
