Police release CCTV image of man they would like to speak with after elderly couple's home burgled

Police have released CCTV images of a man they want to speak to after an elderly couple's home was burgled.

Officers were called to Hillside Avenue in Bromley Cross, Bolton, on the morning of February 17, 2021, after reports that a man had broken into an elderly couple's home the previous night and stole items from their bedroom.

Police now want to speak to a man captured on CCTV at the Shell petrol station in Tonge Moor in connection with the burglary.

A GMP spokesman said: "The images were taken from CCTV from a petrol station where stolen bank cards were used.

"The same cards were also used on the same evening at a petrol station in Salford so there is a chance the suspect is from Salford.

"We would like to speak to anyone who recognises this man."

Anyone with information should contact police on 101 quoting log number 544-17022021 or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Reports can also be made through the GMP website, www.gmp.police.uk.
