Butcher's Shop Break-In: Burglar Sought

Police have released a CCTV image of a burglary suspect wanted for breaking into a butcher's during the early hours via the office above,

Detectives from Newham Borough in east London are investigating and have issued this CCTV image of a man they wish to identify, regarding the £1,000 break-in.

On Sunday, March 13, last year police were called at around 1.50am to a report of a burglary at an address in High Street North, Newham.

The burglary was reported to have occurred at some point between 1100pm on Saturday, March 12 and 1.00am on Sunday, March 13.

CCTV within the first floor office above a butcher’s shop captured the moment a suspect broke through the front door of the office and covered the camera.

He was then able to remove the floorboards in the office, climb into the butcher’s shop and take cash from the till.

The suspect is described as a white man wearing a baseball cap, black leather jacket with a white zip on the front, a light coloured hooded top, light coloured trousers and black trainers.

He also wore black gloves.

Police are keen to hear from anyone who may recognise the man shown on CCTV.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
