Burglary at Newcastle pub.
Dated: 08 Feb 2010
Police have released CCTV images of a man they need to speak to in connection with a burglary at a Newcastle pub.
It happened at around 4am on December 11, 2009, at the New Bridge public house, New Bridge Street, when a man has kicked out a panel of the door, gone into the bar area and stolen a quantity of cigarettes before making off.
Officers investigating the burglary have carried out a number of enquiries in a bid to trace the offender. They are now releasing CCTV images of a man they believe can help with their enquiries into the burglary.
Detective Constable Mick Farnsworth, who is leading the investigation, said: "We've carried out a thorough investigation to trace the man responsible but we've yet to find him. I'm hoping we can identify the man in the images so the investigation can be progressed, and we need the help from the public to do this. We're doing everything we can to find the person responsible for this burglary."
Anyone who recognises the man in the images or has information about the burglary is asked to contact police on 03456 043 043 for the attention of DC 8981 Farnsworth at Market Street CID, or alternatively Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
