“The quality of CCTV stills varies widely but even when they are quite poor, we do still get results.

“It might be that people recognise distinctive clothing from the images and can identify the person that way.

“Even if people don’t know for certain if it is the right person but have some information that could help, we would like to hear from them.”

Members of the public should not approach anyone they believe to be pictured, but should contact Derbyshire Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111, quoting the reference number next to the image.
