Appeal after man threatened to stab Peterborough shop workers with a needle
Peterborough police have released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to in connection with an incident where a man threatened to stab shop workers with a needle.
A man was chased by employees of the Co-operative in Loxley, Peterborough, after he had left the store without paying for £130 worth of meat on April 13.
When they caught up with the man he threatened to stab them with a needle and threw the stolen meat at them.
PC Joe Woolf said: “Incidents like these can be very distressing for members of staff, the Co-operative employees are being provided support, we would urge you not to put yourself at risk to apprehend someone.
“Please look at this image and contact police if you recognise the man or have any information.”
