Police have released CCTV footage of a man who might be able to assist enquiries about a burglary

Merseyside Police have issued CCTV images of a man who may have information to assist enquiries into a report of a burglary in Ainsdale last month.

At around 10.45am on Tuesday 18th October, it was reported that two men gained entry to a home on Liverpool Road and stole power tools.

We are appealing for anyone with information to come forward to assist our investigation.

Detective Inspector James Halpin said: “We have a dedicated burglary team called Operation Castle, who focus on hotspot areas and particular types of burglary.“

“Burglaries can have a massive impact on the person and families affected as they have had their home invaded which is an awful experience to go through, and can often have a long-lasting impact on victims.”

“We encourage people to come forward if you know anything about a burglary or someone acting suspicious in your area, either directly or anonymously via Crimestoppers. We act on all information provided.”

If you recognise the man pictured or have any information about this incident, contact us Merseyside Police Contact Centre or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 with reference 22000767665.
