A suspected thief dressed as a Royal Mail worker is wanted by police after tools were stolen from a driveway.
An image of the man carrying a distinctive red post bag was captured on CCTV after the theft from a home in Chester on 28 November.
Officers at Cheshire Police said they want to speak to him about the incident as part of an ongoing investigation.
It comes after a Royal Mail uniform was also recently stolen, the force added.
A caller reported a pretend postal worker had taken the tools from the driveway of the home on Roman Crescent at about 14:00 GMT.
Officers posted the image of the man on the force website, external and said he may hold "vital information".
Early inquiries found he left the area in a silver van, and could have links to north Wales, a police spokeswoman said.
PC James Wright said: "We would urge anyone who recognises the man pictured to get in touch with us.
"We are also appealing directly to the man himself to make contact."
