GWENT POLICE have asked the "track star" who ran away from their officers in Caldicot on November 11, to run back to the police station, just as quickly, for questioning.

"Please can our runner, run to Caldicot police station as fast as they can to talk about the abandoned bike they left behind."

Anyone with any information regarding the identity of the man is asked to report this to Gwent Police quoting the reference 2400379015.
