POLICE are appealing for help in tracing a man in his early 20s who is suspected of shoplifting.
The man, who is described as being around 6ft tall and slim, went into the Peacocks in the Dragonville area of Durham City at around 3.25pm on Thursday, December 11.
Police say the suspect walked around the store for some time and picked up three or four white coats, then made off without paying for them.
At the time of the alleged offence, he was wearing a light coloured Adidas top, dark trousers and white training shoes.
Anyone with information is asked to ring Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
