POLICE have released CCTV images of a person they would like to trace after an attempted burglary in Wells.

The incident happened at a shop in Broad Street at between 8.45am and 9am on Thursday, February 15.

Avon & Somerset Police said the person was unsuccessful in gaining entry due to security measures at the store – and because they were disturbed.

Officer in the case, Jim Card, said: “We appreciate the CCTV images do not show the man’s face, but believe the distinctive bag and motorcycle – believed to be a Royal Enfield Hunter – may mean someone can help us identify him for us.

Police are hopeful someone may be able to identify the motorbike in the images. Picture: Avon & Somerset Police
