A MAN suspected of stealing a charity box from a town centre shop has been bailed by police.

He was arrested earlier this month having been chased through town by officers on bikes.

He was wanted in connection with the theft of the Whizz Kidz charity tin in Ben's dry cleaners in Union Street.

Police said today he has been bailed until 22 April, pending further enquiries.
