A FRAGRANT thief is being hunted by police – after walking out of a petrol garage with 30 cans of deodorant.

A man entered the Esso petrol station in Woolmer Green and filled a holdall with cans of Lynx deodorant.

He then paid for a different item at the counter, but walked out without settling the bill for the spray.

“We would also ask if anyone knows anything about the incident to get in touch.”
