'Driver filled up without paying three times'
Hampshire and Isle of Wight ConstabularyA man who is accused of filling his van up at the same petrol station without paying three times is being sought by police.
Hampshire Constabulary has released images of a man they want to speak to in connection with the series of thefts in Hythe, Hampshire.
On three separate occasions - 23 December, 29 December and 9 January - a man attended the Tesco Esso Express on Beaulieu Road in Dibden Purlieu, filled a van with fuel and then told staff he had no means of payment before leaving, police said.
A total of £316.88 worth of fuel was taken across the three incidents, a police spokesperson said.
The man is described as white, aged between 25 and 30, about 6ft (1.82m) tall, with dark hair and a dark beard. He was wearing glasses and is of slight to medium build.
During one of the incidents, he was wearing a three-quarter length grey puffer jacket with a hood, joggers and Nike trainers, police said.
Officers say they believe the man in the images may be able to help with their investigation.
