An appeal has been launched after money was stolen from a cash in transit worker while they were making a delivery.
Cleveland Police said the worker was attending M&S Simply Food at Cleveland Retail Park on Skippers Lane in Middlesbrough on Monday, January 15 at about 2pm, when an unknown man stole two bags of cash from a trolley while it was being transferred.

PC Daniel Scott said: “I am appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time and may have seen the theft take place or a man acting suspiciously at around the time it occurred.
