Detectives investigating an alleged burglary in Bournemouth are issuing a CCTV image of a suspect.
Sometime between 1.42pm and 3.30pm on Wednesday 3 October 2018 it was reported that a burglary occurred at an address in Queen’s Park Avenue.
A significant amount of property, including cash, jewellery, badges, Ugg boots and a bank card was stolen.
The bank card was subsequently used for a contactless payment later that day at Asda in Bournemouth.
Detective Constable Michelle Lawrence, of Bournemouth CID, said: “As part of my investigation I am now in a position to issue a CCTV image of a suspect and I would urge anyone who recognises this man to please contact Dorset Police.
“The items stolen were worth a huge amount to the victims, both financially and sentimentally, and I would ask anyone who becomes aware of jewellery being offered for sale in unusual circumstances to please contact me.”
A 36-year-old woman from Bournemouth was arrested on suspicion of burglary and has been released under investigation pending further enquiries.
