Police hunt 'Rizla' robber

The suspect has been filmed on CCTV cameras

Police hunting a robber behind a spate of off-licence raids have released pictures of a suspect dubbed "the Rizla man".

The thief is thought to be responsible for at least six raids across Berkshire and Oxfordshire during May and June.

He asks for a packet of green Rizla cigarette papers and then tries to snatch cash from the open till drawer as shop assistants serve him.

Thames Valley Police say have already received some good leads after the case was publicised on the BBC's Crimewatch programme.

A police spokeswoman said: "These are a series of identical raids which have taken place over a short period of time.

"We are keen to trace this man and believe that someone may recognise him from these stills and come forward."
