When challenged by staff, he fled the scene, running through another shop onto Queen Street and Eldon Street.

The man is described as being white, in his late thirties, with short dark hair. He is believed to have been wearing a blue and white long-sleeved shirt.

Officers believe the man in the CCTV images (pictured) could hold useful information for the investigation and are appealing to anyone who recognises him to come forward.
