Police investigating burglaries in south Shropshire and Herefordshire have issued a photograph of a man who may be able to assist their inquiries.

Police appeal for Ludlow man to make contact

They believe 36-year-old Shane Wear may have vital information concerning two daytime burglaries on 25 March at homes in Colebatch, near Bishop’s Castle and at nearby Leintwardine in Herefordshire.

Detective Constable Dave Parker, the investigating officer, said today: “We would like Mr Wear to come forward as he may have some important details which will help the investigation.

“We have been unable to trace him and by releasing his picture, it’s hoped he will become aware we want to speak to him and make contact.

“I am asking him to contact me at the Burglary Unit, Shrewsbury Police Station by calling 101 or attending Ludlow police station.

“I am also appealing to anyone who knows of his whereabouts to get in touch. Information can also be given to the anonymous Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.”

DC Parker said Mr Wear’s last known address was in Ludlow and he is thought to still be in the area. He also has connections with Cleobury Mortimer, Hereford and Leominster.

Jewellery and cash were among the items stolen in the break-ins at Colebatch and Leintwardine.

Anyone with information about the incidents, or those responsible, is asked to contact the police on 101.
