Police officers investigating a series of thefts from the Glade of Light Memorial in Manchester city centre have appealed for help to identify a male they want to speak to.

“Whilst we are carrying out our own enquiries, I ask anyone who can help identify the male in the CCTV image to contact us or Crimestoppers immediately.”
