Officers investigating a race hate incident in Weymouth are issuing a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to.
At 5.08pm on Thursday 16 August 2018 a man reportedly entered McColl’s on East Street in Chickerell and used abusive and offensive language, which made a member of staff feel the need to leave.
Enquiries have been carried out in a bid to identify the man involved but these have not been successful.
Police Sergeant Richard Barnett, of Weymouth police, said: “As part of my investigation I am now in a position to issue a CCTV image of a man I would like to speak to and I would urge this man or anyone who recognises him to please contact me.
