DO you recognise this man (right) captured on CCTV?

Police said they want to interview him in connection with the theft of a Poppy Day charity tin from a Midland pub.

Officers in Dudley released the image.

They said a charity collection tin for the Poppy Appeal was taken from the Meadow Lark pub on the Milking Bank Estate three days before Remembrance Sunday last year.

A man entered the pub shortly before 3pm on Thursday, November 8, and asked for assistance as his car had broken down.

When staff moved away from the bar he took the charity collection box and left the pub.

Around £50 was believed to have been inside the box.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Dudley police station on 0845 113 5000.
