Police are investigating a series of thefts at a Holland and Barrett store, in Bristol, and have issued photographs of a man with a slim build they wish to question. Thousands of pounds worth of products were stolen from the Broadmead health-food store over the course of several months.

Avon and Somerset Police say the incidents took place between the end of July and the middle of September. Officers are now appealing for information and have issued CCTV images of a man they wish to speak to about the incident.

He is described as a white man in his thirties or forties. He has a slim build, short, dark hair and a beard.
