A CCTV image of a chocolate thief has been released by police.
Suspect 162496 is wanted for shoplifting at Orzel, a Polish convenience store in Wood Street, Walthamstow, on October 19 at around 4pm.
He is accused of stealing confectionery items, mainly chocolate, with a value of £40.
According to staff, he picked up several trays of chocolates from the till point and placed them down his trousers.
A staff member witnessed this and challenged him, at which point he put one tray back and left the shop.
The CCTV has been passed 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.
