Police are hunting a gambler who racially abused staff following a dispute over a bet. 

The man is wanted for racially aggravated criminal damage at Ladrbokes in Fulbourne Road, Walthamstow, on July 5 at 11am. 

The gambler caused minor damage to a car parked outside the betting shop after he kicked the vehicle following a confrontation with a staff member.

He placed a winning bet of £3 and when he went to collect his winnings, he tried convincing the Ladrbrokes employee that his stake was actually £5. 

The female employee stood her ground, at which point he called her a "stupid black c***" and "your mum is a black wh***".   

CCTV has been supplied to the Guardian as part of a joint venture with the Metropolitan Police to identify potential perpetrators of unsolved crimes in the borough.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Waltham Forest police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
