Police have released a CCTV image a man they would like to speak to after a late-night Chelmsford reveller hid in a bush to avoid paying his taxi fare.
The suspect had been collected outside Evoke nightclub in the town centre at 11:55pm on Wednesday, March 27.
He wanted to be taken to Newland Springs, but asked for a brief stop at Morrisons off Dickens Place so that he could withdraw some money from a cashpoint.
Investigating Officer, PcYari Forster, said: "While at the supermarket, he ran off. The driver tried to find him and, at one stage, saw him hiding in bushes, but then lost sight of him in the cold darkness.
We would ask people to take a look at the image and contact us with his name. He owes the driver £13."
The man in the CCTV image is described as white, aged in his late 20s or early 30s and was wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans.
Anyone who knows the identity of this thief is urged to contact investigating officers at Chelmsford police station on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
