Police have released images of a person being sought as part of an investigation into the theft of dangerous chemicals from Waikato Hospital.
Three 500mL opaque bottles of a chemical known as pickling paste were reported stolen from the hospital sometime between December 23 and January 10, police said in a statement on Wednesday.
"The chemical burns skin, will cause blindness if it makes contact with a person's eyes, and can even cause bones to degrade," the statement said.
On Thursday morning, police shared new images of someone that they'd "like to speak to... as part of our enquiries into the theft".
"As well as seeking to identify the person pictured, Police would still like to hear from anyone with information on this theft or the whereabouts of the chemicals.
"If you have any information that could assist the investigation team, please get in touch with Police on 105 and reference file number 230110/5099.
"Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111."
