A THIEF who grabbed cash from the till in an East Yorkshire shop is being tracked by police.

The man entered Maple News, in Maple Drive, Beverley, at 12.25pm on Monday and took a pack of chewing gum to the counter, but when the till was opened he reached across and stole the money.

He is white, aged between 30 and 40, and has light brown hair. He was wearing a yellow jacket which may have been a high-visibility or reflective piece of clothing and black gloves.

Anybody who saw the theft should phone Humberside Police on 0845 6060 222 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
