A HUNT has been launched for a suspected thief who is wanted after a series of incidents along the coasts.

CCTV images have been issued of a man wanted in connection with thefts from buildings in Newhaven, Peacehaven and Brighton in August and September.

The suspect entered the public buildings but has gone into non public areas and stolen personal items from employees.

He has used stolen credit and debit cards to make cash withdrawals and purchases from cash machines and shops in the same area.

Anyone who recognises the suspect should contact Sussex Police on 101.
