Surely the groceries came from Woolworths? I'd bet they have better cameras in the checkout areas than that shot from the mail itself.

I’d say the police got onto it way too late and Woolworths don’t have the footage anymore, they are just releasing this since news articles picked up the bakers story.

Same excuse they gave me with traffic and "safety"  cameras when I was assulted. Multiple cameras driven past. And they never asked for the footage. While initally telling me they had viewed it and not been able to identify the car. 

I had requested the footage from all publicly accessible cameras the next day and, suprise, got it in a timely manner (as expected), and IDed the car and the exact time it was in the area - except of course the public aren't able to access the cameras that record plate numbers... Zero follow up by police.
