Lee Waud, aged 38, of Staveley Road, Hull has been jailed for almost three years in connection with the incident and one that occurred on a different day.

Northamptonshire Police originally released an appeal to identify seven people. Four have been identified, police have confirmed.

However, officers are still seeking to identify three more people and believe those pictured may have information which could assist with their investigation and are appealing for them or anyone who recognises someone to get in touch.

Anyone with information is asked to call Northamptonshire Police on 101 or call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, quoting incident number: 23000282261.
