THIS man was so unhappy after losing his money in a gaming machine, he vandalised it.

The attack, at Ladbrokes in London Road, Headington, means he is behind the door of day 14 in the Oxford Mail’s Badvent Calendar.

Every day in the run-up to Christmas we will reveal another suspect wanted by police in Oxfordshire.

PC Chris Proto said: “It’s not clear exactly what happened. Perhaps he lost a bit more money than he wanted.

“The result is that he has taken out whatever frustration he has had on the screen of the gaming machine and smashed it.

“A member of staff at the store witnessed this and shouted at the man, at which point he ran from the store.”

The man is described as mixed race, in his early 40s, approximately 5ft 9in and with a stocky build. He was wearing a blue hooded top, white T-shirt and a red and white baseball cap.

He caused the damage on October 26.

PC Proto added: “This man hasn’t been seen back in this bookmakers since this incident. Have you seen him in your bookies?

“If you have seen this man I would urge you to come forward and speak to us as soon as possible so that we can resolve this matter.”
