He’s quite hard to miss, with a distinctive tattoo of two cherries on his left cheekbone.
Detective Inspector Marcia Hardy said: ‘We are continuing our investigation to trace this individual and following a number of lines of enquiry, and we are releasing new CCTV images of him.
‘If you see him, please call 999 immediately. We would advise members of the public not to approach.’
Under new plans announced by the government today, criminals could soon be banned from pubs, concerts and football matches.
Judges are currently only allowed to impose bans on criminals for certain offences, such as a football ban for an offence committed by a fan on match day.
But ministers say broadening the range of punishments will help deter criminals from reoffending and get them on the straight and narrow.
New sentencing powers will also allow judges to impose travel bans on offenders, as well as driving limits and orders restricting them to certain zones.
The new restrictions will also be applied on offenders leaving the probation service, alongside an expansion of the mandatory drug testing regime.
Shabana Mahmood, the Justice Secretary, said the new charges would help cut crime and make streets safer.
‘These new punishments should remind all offenders that, under this government, crime does not pay’, she said.
