Police have released a CCTV image of a man they are looking to speaking with following an assault in Congleton.

At 1.54pm on Saturday, January 17, a man entered a vape shop on Bridge Street and approached the shop assistant, asking for a bag.

When he was refused, the suspect became angry and threatened to steal some speakers.

The suspect was prevented from leaving with the speakers by the shop assistant, who was then assaulted.

At this point, the suspect threw the speakers on the floor and left empty-handed.

PC Helen Weeks said: "I'd urge anyone who recognises the man in the CCTV to contact us so that we can progress with our enquiries."
