A MAN has been identified less than an hour after a CCTV appeal was issued.
As The Press reported earlier today, North Yorkshire Police issued an image of a man they would like to speak to following threats of violence and damage in Sherburn in Elmet.
The force says it happened on North Drive at about 1.15am on January 15 when a taxi driver was threatened with violence by a man in the street.
A spokesman said: "Officers issued a CCTV appeal to ask members of the public to get in touch if they recognised the male pictured as they believed he would have information that would help their investigation.
"Less than an hour after the CCTV appeal was first published the man has been identified.
"Officers would like to thank the media and public for sharing the appeal."
