A CRIME victim is putting up a reward of £100 for information leading to the conviction of a burglar.

The thief broke into a house in Windsor Road, Saltburn, and stole a collection of £5 coins.

It is thought the same crook presented £70 worth of stolen coins at Skelton Post Office where he asked for change, but was told he would be better off going to a bank.

Police have been given a description of a youth aged between his late teens and early 20s, about 5ft 6in, of average build with short, mousy brown hair. He was wearing a beige short jacket and carried a haversack.

Anyone with information is asked to call (01642) 302626
