Police have released CCTV images of a man they’d like to speak in relation to a burglary at St Theresa’s Church Social Club in Blacon.

At 1.15am on 30th September a man forced entry into the social club on Blacon Avenue, once inside the building the suspect located the gambling machine before forcing the machine open to steal cash from it.

Police attended the scene within minutes however the suspect had already fled the location on foot across the playing field of St Theresa’s Primary School on Kipling Road.

PC James Wright said:

“I’d urge anyone who recognises this man or knows who the suspect is to contact us. Someone in the community will know his identity and I urge them to come forward.

"The money stolen from the machine was all in pound coins. If anyone works in the local area and has noted any suspicious transactions paid for with a large quantity of pound coins, I again urge them to come forward and contact the Police.

“The same goes for anyone with dash cam or CCTV which may have captured anything of interest following the offence taking place.”
