Image source, SOUTH YORKSHIRE POLICEPolice believe he has information regarding fake notes which circulated around the Christmas markets in Sheffield.
A plaque commemorating York’s suffragettes has been unveiled on one of the city's busiest streets.
It's been put up in Coney Street, where the York branch of the Women's Social and Political Union was based 100 years ago.
Ahead of the unveiling, the York Theatre Choir uplifted the crowd waiting in the cold to witness the historic moment:
The story of York's Suffragettes was told using 170 volunteers in the community production Everything is Possible in 2017. Pilot Theatre and the Theatre Royal were behind the play.
Juliet Forster, who co-directed the production, said: "It was incredibly moving to be part of telling the story of those amazing women of York 100 years ago and how they suffered to give us the rights we take for granted today.
"It had a huge impact on York and will live a long time in the memories of those of us who made it and saw it, especially in the wonderful women and men of contemporary York who brought this important story to life."
Pilot and the Theatre Royal worked with the York Civic Trust on a permanent reminder of the Suffragettes' achivements, which culminated in the plaque being unveiled by the play's director, Juliet Forster, and Bridget Forman, who wrote it.
A number of workers are said to have been left in financial "dire straits" by the company.

Hull MPs are meeting with Marks and Spencer today about the proposed closure of a store in the city centre.

Read MoreTalks have been taking place about making a Chinese version of Jane Eyre, the classic story, by West Yorkshire's Charlotte Brontë, written in 1847.
It’s hoped the film could be shot in Qingdao, China and the Bradford district, taking in famous Brontë landmarks, including the Parsonage in Haworth where the sisters lived.
The story, known as Jian Ai, in Mandarin, has a long history in Chinese literature - a first abridged version was published in 1925 in Shanghai.
The book has since become a staple text in schools across China.
David Wilson, director of Bradford UNESCO City of Film, says: "The film would benefit our district, shining the spotlight on the city, our iconic moorland locations and attracting the growing phenomenon of screen tourism.
"The interest in this story of a governess who marries her brooding employer, reflects a wider captivation with the Brontë sisters, as women writing in a period when few penned novels."
Image source, Getty ImagesThe Brontë family moved to Haworth in 1820 when their father, Patrick, became a clergyman for the local church.
In Haworth they developed their passion for writing, publishing their work under male pseudonyms.
Details of the collaboration between Bradford UNESCO City of Film and Chinese film producers, will be revealed at an event at the Science Museum in Bradford this evening.

Image source, Forgotten RelicsThe historic 1.4-mile tunnel was built to connect Halifax with Keighley and was the Great Northern Railway's longest when it opened in in 1878.
