North Wales Police are keen to trace the person pictured in relation to a number of making off’s and thefts of number plates from the Central and Eastern areas of the force.
It is believed that two offenders have been responsible for numerous offences, where they have stolen number plates off parked cars and then placed the plates on their own vehicles – an Astra and an Audi A4, which have then been involved in the drive off’s.
One man has been arrested and charged in connection with the offences, but efforts to trace the second man have failed and a further 6 crimes are believed to have been committed since August, by this man who drives a black Vauxhall Astra.
The drive offs have happened from petrol stations in Rhyl, Llanddulas and Holywell, while number plates have been stolen from Wrexham, Prestatyn and Rhyl.
Anyone who may recognise the man or who may have information relating to the incidents is asked to contact PC Keelie Owen at St Asaph Police Station on 101 if in Wales, 0845 6071001 (Welsh line), 0845 6071002 (English line) or Crimestoppers Cymru Wales on 0800 555111.
