DETECTIVES have renewed their appeal to trace the man shown in the CCTV footage following a burglary which occurred back in January.

At around 6pm on Friday, January 17, a man entered a property in The Parade, Parkgate, Neston, after climbing through a window.

The offender stole a quantity of cash and jewellery after conducting an untidy search of the address.

After being disturbed by the returning occupiers, he fled via the same window he got in through.

Enquiries in relation to the incident are ongoing and detectives are urging anyone who believes they may know the identity of the man in the CCTV footage to get in touch.

Detective Constable Jake Connolly said: "In this instance, the occupiers disturbed the burglar when they returned home but he still managed to steal a quantity of cash and jewellery.

"We would urge anyone with information that may help us identify the man to contact us.

"If you think you recognise him please call Cheshire Constabulary on 101, quoting IML 614522, give us the details via www.cheshire.police.uk/ro/report or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

"I would also like to appeal directly to the man in the CCTV footage to do the right thing and get in touch."
