A SKINNY thief is being hunted by police after he stole muscle-building powder worth £50.
The weedy suspect walked into Boots in Hamlet Court Road, Westcliff, on Tuesday, August 6, at 11.05am.
He was carrying an empty EE mobile phone bag which he put the container of powder in before leaving the store without paying.
An Essex Police spokeswoman said: "This thief appears to have been intent on bulking up his physique and was prepared to resort to stealing a tub of muscle powder to do so. "
Police have only just released this CCTV footage of the slim suspect, who they want to speak to over the incident.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Pc William Chung, or his colleagues at Southend, on 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
