North Yorkshire Police are appealing for witnesses and information about criminal damage to the window at Scarborough’s Sainsbury’s store on Falsgrave Road.

It is believed the suspect was involved in an attempted shoplifting incident just a few minutes before returning to the store to throw two rocks at the window, just before 7pm on Thursday October 13.

Although no-one was hurt, police say this could have been very different due to the “reckless” nature of how the damage was caused – and now they are appealing for the public’s help in trying to identify the suspect.

He is described as being in his late 20s, slim build, with dark brown-black hair.
