Photographs of a suspect are being circulated by police after two offences of shoplifting were reported on the same day and at the same shop.
A spokesman for East Cambs Police, posting details on their Facebook page, asked simply: "Do you know this man? "
The spokesman said they were looking to speak to him in connection with two shoplifting incidents in Ely.
The incidents occurred on the same day - September 26 within hours of one another at the One Stop store on St John's Road, Ely.

The suspect entered the store and attempted to pay for a bottle of Jack Daniels and a bottle of Bacardi, but when his card didn't work he fled the store with the alcohol.
"He then did the same thing again just hours later," said the spokesman.
