Police release image of man in connection with Cleobury Mortimer cash machine theft
Police today released an image of a man they would like to speak to following the theft of a cash machine in Cleobury Mortimer last December.
It is thought three or four people arrived at Lloyds Bank on High Street and used a JCB to force entry to the premises at 3.11am on Monday 21 December. They then removed the cash machine from inside.
The offenders are thought to have left the scene, travelling in the direction of Cleehill in a red Land Rover. They may have also been seen on the Tenbury Road before being found abandoned and burnt out in Gloucester.
Upon arrival at the scene, officers found the JCB abandoned nearby.
Police are particularly interested in speaking to the man in the image. It is thought he may have information that could help police with their enquiries.
Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Mathew Crisp said: "We are still actively investigating this matter and are keen to speak to the man pictured. It is thought this man may be from the Leeds area and we would urge him to get in touch with us as soon as possible. If you recognise this man please call us on 101."
If you have any information that could help the investigation please call West Mercia Police on the non-emergency 101 number quoting incident reference number 49s of Monday 21 December 2015.
