Police have released a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with a shoplifting incident in Knutsford.

At around 6.39pm on Saturday 24th February, an unknown man entered the Booths store on Stanley Road, Knutsford.

The man proceeded to take around £340 worth of alcohol and then left the store without making an attempt for paying for the items.
