Police continue to investigate reports of suspicious activity at retail stores in Macclesfield and Handforth.

Macclesfield's Local Policing Unit has renewed an appeal for information, releasing new CCTV footage of a man officers would like to speak to.

It comes following reports of a man acting suspiciously at two shops in Macclesfield town centre on Monday, August 4.
