PC Kate Ritchie said: "We're keen to speak to anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV image or who has any information that may help."

Anyone with information should contact Cheshire Police on 101 or via the website (www.cheshire.police.uk/tell-us) quoting 26000123663.

Alternatively information can be given anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
