Police have released an image of a man they are looking to identify following two burglaries in Barrow Upon Soar.

The incidents both happened during the afternoon of Thursday 12 February in Bridge Street.

Entry has been gained to both houses and high-value jewellery and watches were reported to have been stolen.

Officers have been carrying out a number of enquiries in relation to the offences and have now released an image of a man they wish to identify.

Detective Constable Ellis Barrs, investigating officer, said: “I am keen to identify and speak to the man in the image as he may have information that can assist with our ongoing investigation.

“I appreciate the man’s face is covered and a little unclear, but I am hoping someone may recognise his distinctive jacket.

“If anyone has any information that may help us identify him – please come forward.”

Please report any information online or by calling 101 – quoting crime reference 26*91173.
