A TEENAGER is being hunted by police after two raids in one day including a bookies in Rowley Regis.

Detectives have drawn up a wanted poster featuring Remayo Sterling, from Smethwick, after thieves struck at William Hill, Oldbury Road, and Co-op, Dudley Road West Tividale.

Officers, searched addresses linked to 19-year-old Sterling, urged people not to approach him if they saw him.

"We would advise people not to approach Sterling and report any sightings to the police straight away."
