THE hunt is on for a suspected thief caught on camera in Hereford.

Police previously reported that the suspect was caught on CCTV in the Beattie Avenue area of Hereford.

Police community support officer Tally Hunt said earlier this month police were alerted after a shed was broken into and tools stolen in the south Hereford residential street.

The incident happened at around 5am on September 9, PCSO Hunt said.

A battery angle grinder, battery and socket set were taken from the shed.

But now officers have released a new appeal for the suspect, and confirmed that the stolen angle grinder was a Milwaukee branded tool.
