THAMES Valley Police is renewing its appeal for help identifying a person to aid investigations into incidents of criminal damage and assault.

Police have released CCTV images of a man they would like to speak to after objects were fired at pedestrians in Woodley and Earley.

It follows multiple incidents which took place between around midday and 1.30pm on Tuesday, June 25, when two people used slingshots to fire objects at pedestrians from a white van.

Multiple incidents took place, including in Crockhamwell Road, Woodlands Avenue, Beechwood Avenue, and Wokingham Road.

Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Johnathan Hare said: “We are appealing to anyone who may recognise the man in the image to get in touch as he may have vital information about these incidents.

“We would like to reassure the public that we are taking these incidents extremely seriously.
