Nottinghamshire Police have launched an appeal after around 180 bottles of alcohol were stolen from a Tesco Extra in Mansfield.
It is believed that a group of men entered the Tesco Extra in Jubilee Way South on, and stole six trolleys full of alcohol on January 24 shortly before 5pm.
Officers believe that the alcohol - valued at £5,000 - was covered with other items before they made their way to the exit. One of the suspects worked the exit barrier to ensure their getaway was quick.

PC Summer Smith, who is investigating the incident, said: “We believe that a group of men are hitting supermarkets nationally using techniques to avoid being caught.
“The appeal is twofold. Firstly, to let the public and other supermarkets know about this incident but to also trace the three men in the CCTV images who could help us with our inquiries.
“Shop theft is not a victimless crime, and we are determined to stop this group from targeting any more of our supermarkets.
“If you recognise the three men in the picture or are the three men in the picture then please get in touch immediately.”
Anyone with information can call 101 quoting occurrence number 2798186 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
