On Friday June 15, a man drove a white Ford Transit van on to the forecourt of the Tesco petrol station on Beaumount Street before filling it with fuel.

He then drove away without making an attempt to pay.

The vehicle had been stolen earlier on the same day from the Humberside area.

The man is described as in his late 20s, of medium build, with facial hair.
