Police are hoping CCTV footage will help them track down a man who tried to steal beer from a shop in Peterborough earlier this month.

The incident happened at about 8.30pm on Saturday, 8 April, at the Nisa Local store, in Walton, Peterborough.

A man wearing a balaclava entered and picked up a crate of beer while another man held the door open for him.

The men were spotted and challenged by shopkeepers who managed to wrestle the man with the beers to the floor, causing him to drop the crate. The second man holding the door smashed the windows with a hammer, allowing both men to escape.

In a statement police said: "Anyone who witnessed the incident or who has any information is urged to contact us via our webchat or on 101 quoting crime reference number 35/26218/23."
