Officers say parcels have been stolen on Norton Heights
Police are investigating reports of a man 'following' posties on a Potteries estate - before stealing letters and parcels. The suspect is said to have been spotted around Norton Heights and targeting Royal Mail deliveries.
Now neighbourhood officers have issued a description of the man - while residents are urged to report any suspicious behaviour. PCSO Carl Radford who covers the area says letters have been stolen if they are left hanging out of letter boxes.
He said: "In the Norton Heights area, it has been reported that there is a male who is described as small build, wearing a black top, burgundy bottoms, carrying a Farmfoods bag and in possession of a mountain bike.
"He has been following the Royal Mail deliveries and stealing the parcels and letters hanging out of the letter boxes."
