We would like to speak to him in connection with an aggravated theft from a shop in Birches Head. 

We were called at 8.10am yesterday (Thursday 18 June) to a shop on Birches Head Road.

He had his hood up and was wearing a distinctive green jacket with light green camouflage patches on the forearms, chest and hood. He was also wearing black tracksuit bottoms, white trainers and a black cross-body bag.
