Appeal to find wanted man – Windsor

Thames Valley Police is appealing for the public’s help to find a man wanted in connection with a theft in Windsor.

Claudiu Marcu, aged 49, is wanted in connection with a theft from a vehicle in Windsor Yard’s car park in King Edward Court at around midday on 7 January.

An iPhone and a wallet were taken from the victim’s car, which were then used to purchase £12,506.90-worth of gift cards from Sainsbury’s in Slough. The victim was a woman in her sixties.

Marcu is known to frequent supermarkets, most recently: Waitrose in Windsor, Sainsbury’s and The Curve in Slough, and Waitrose in Ascot.

Investigating officer Denisia Olaru said: “Enquiries have been ongoing to locate Claudiu Marcu but we are now appealing for the public’s help.

“If you know where he is or may have seen him, call 101 or make a report on our website, quoting reference number 43230009927. If you see him, do not approach him and call 999 instead.

“Alternatively, you can provide information anonymously to the independent charity, Crimestoppers, by calling 0800 555 111 or via its website.”
