A spokeswoman for Durham Constabulary, said: “Handling or receiving stolen goods is not a victimless crime and individuals or businesses who trade in these items can have a long-term effect on communities and residents.
“To sell stolen goods, the thief must first steal the items. This means, somewhere, there is a victim of burglary, robbery or theft - all of which cause great distress, anxiety and fear for those victims.
“Do you know someone who might be handling stolen goods? Have you been offered one of these shirts?"
Anyone with information should contact police on 101. Alternatively, people can anonymously pass information to the police by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
