“We would urge anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity or who recognises the man descried to get in touch.
“We would also be keen to speak to anyone who may have dashcam or private CCTV footage from the area.
“Anyone who can help can call 101, quoting incident 3369 of 6 November, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.”
