Gloucestershire Police appeal for wanted shoplifter

Police are appealing for information to help trace a man wanted in connection with a number of shoplifting offences.

Gloucestershire Police have been searching throughout the summer for Matthew Cross of Barnwood Road in Gloucester, but have so far been unable to locate him.

The 45-year-old man is described as 5ft 9ins tall, of a slim build and has a tattoo on his neck. He often uses a black mountain bike to get around.

Mr Cross is known to frequent Barton Street and Southgate Street in Gloucester and has also been seen in the Churchdown area.
