Thames Valley Police is appealing for help to trace Jamie Woodley, 38, wanted in connection with 11 offences across Oxfordshire.

Thames Valley Police is appealing for help to trace Jamie Woodley, 38, who is wanted in connection with 11 offences including 10 shoplifting incidents and one theft from a motor vehicle. The alleged offences took place between April 22 and October 7 in Didcot, Steventon, Abingdon and Faringdon, with supermarkets including Co-Op, Aldi and Tesco targeted. Items allegedly stolen include meat products, alcohol and laundry detergent.

Sergeant Pete Neale of the Oxfordshire Local Command Unit said persistent offending of this nature causes financial losses to businesses and places additional pressure on retail staff. He added that shoplifting can lead to increased costs being passed on to customers and can undermine confidence within local communities.

Woodley is described as approximately 5ft 7ins tall, of slim build, with dark brown hair and a beard that is often dark brown and grey. Anyone who sees him should call 999 with sightings. Other information can be reported online or by calling 101, quoting reference 43260196792, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
