POLICE have released a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with a theft from a shop in Newmarket.

A man entered a shop in the Guineas Shopping Centre and stole approximately £100 worth of cosmetics at around 10:05am on December 24, 2012.

The same man is seen in the shop again and is followed by security staff at around 3:45pm on January 26, 2013.

A police spokesman said: “He is watched as he enters another shop and security staff then challenge him, suspecting he has a number of chocolate bars concealed upon himself.

“The man tried to walk away but was challenged again and then became aggressive, threatening the security staff before running off.”

The man is described as white, between 5ft 8ins and 5ft 10ins and in his early 20s.

Police are asking anyone who recognises the man to call PC Tom Kent at the Mildenhall Response Team on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
