Police are appealing for help to trace a man who is wanted in connection with the theft of cash from gaming machines.



Officers would like to speak to Ian Sparkes, 28, who is originally from Blackpool but whose last known address was in Oldham, after £320 was stolen from a gaming machine at The New Manchester pub on the Promenade, Blackpool on April 12.

He is also wanted in connection with a number of similar thefts in Manchester.

He has strong links to Blackpool and it is thought that he could be in the area.

If anyone has seen Sparkes or has any information on his whereabouts, please contact police on 101 quoting LC-20160808-0568
