Police have released a CCTV image of a man they are looking to identify following a series of fuel thefts.

Four offences have taken place over the past three months, where different cars, a silver Honda and a silver/blue Vauxhall – displaying the same false number plates – have been filled up with petrol which was then not paid for.

The incidents occurred on:

• Sunday June 7 at Elstree Hill Service Station, Elstree

• Saturday April 25 at Texaco Primrose Hill, Kings Langley

• Saturday April 18 at Classic Service Station, Old Watford Road, Bricket Wood

• Tuesday April 14 at Co-op Service Station, Redbourn Road, Hemel Hempstead

PC Darren Arbuthnott, who is investigating, said: "Do you recognise the man pictured in the image. We’d like to identify him as we believe he may be able to help us with our enquiries into these incidents.

"If you do recognise him I’d like to hear from you, I can be contacted directly via email at darren.arbuthnott@herts.pnn.police.uk."
