DETECTIVES are appealing for information about a man carrying a large sack through the streets of Tow Law at night.
The person they are looking for is not Father Christmas, but a thief who left his victims with a decidedly chilly feeling after raiding their Christmas fuel supplies.
After smashing a padlock from the door of a concrete bunker, the thief stole a quantity of coal.
The theft happened in Alpine Way on Friday night or Saturday morning.
Police in Crook are appealing for information about the theft.
Anyone with information is asked to telephone (01388) 762011
