A Sikh temple is appealing for help to track down a suspected shoe thief for the second time this year.

The brazen act happened yesterday (Tuesday) at Gravesend's Guru Nanak Darbar Gurdwara.

A brown haired white man in a black t-shirt, grey wind breaker and black trousers can be seen in CCTV footage uploaded to Facebook by the temple looking directly at the camera before placing some white trainers, left in the reception by a visitor, into a satchel and walking off.

In January a 28-year-old woman was also caught stealing two pairs of footwear from the site in Khalsa Avenue.

She got away with it after being stopped by police and returning the shoes to their owners.

The camera were first installed after wedding guests' expensive footwear were taken.

Police have been approached for comment.

The Gurdwara posted on its Facebook page: "If anybody has any information which could help identify him then please send us a message or contact North Kent Police on 101 quoting reference 44KKGTKHVF."
