A nationwide manhunt is underway for a man who broke into a shop and defecated on the carpet.

Police are hunting the man, believed to be in his twenties or early thirties, on suspicion of criminal damage.

The identified man is said to have damaged the door of a commercial property in Cliff Street, Bridlington, and ruined the carpet at around 1.30am on December 21st.
