The man is in his late twenties, 5ft 5in, with dark hair and a dark complexion and was wearing a black Adidas top with white stripes on the sleeves. His companion was in her early twenties and had hair tied back into a pony tail. Anyone with information should contact Darlington police on (01325) 467681.
