Officers who attended the scene were unable to find the man, despite a thorough search.
Detective Constable Sam Knight from Bournemouth CID, said:“This must have been a very distressing incident for staff at the store and we have launched a full investigation to identify the man responsible.
“We have obtained CCTV images of the suspect. I appreciate they are not great quality and his face is partially covered, but I would urge anyone who may recognise him from the clothes he is wearing and his build to please contact us.
