Appeal after incident at Hartlepool supermarket.

Officers in Hartlepool are appealing for information as they continue to try to identify a man they’d like to speak to about an incident at the Morrison’s Clarence Road store last weekend.

At around 2pm on Sunday 5^th January a man ran from the store, followed by a member of security staff.

As they reached the car park (level with the Morrison’s cafe) the man turned to the guard, made a threat and appeared to imply he was reaching for a weapon - although no weapon was actually seen.

The man then ran from the scene.  He is described as white, with brown hair, facial stubble and wearing a black coat with a brown fur hood, dark blue tracksuit bottoms with a white stripe down the legs, white socks and black trainers.

If you witnessed this incident or have any information on the man described, please contact Cleveland Police on the 101 number quoting ref SE25002518.

If you don’t want to speak to police, you can pass information anonymously to www.crimestoppers-uk.org or phone them on 0800 555 111.
