Canterbury police said they have identified a man they were seeking in relation to an incident at a Rolleston supermarket, but no charges have been laid.

Over the weekend, Canterbury police published three photos of the man on their Facebook page.

They did not say why they were wanting to speak to the man.

In a statement provided to chrislynchmedia.com on Monday morning, a police spokeswoman said, “The man in the photos has been identified, and we have therefore removed our appeal for information on Facebook.

Enquiries into this matter are ongoing, and no charges have been laid at this time.”
