POLICE have released CCTV images of a man they would like to speak to following a spate of break-ins in Burnham-on-Sea.
Seven businesses across the High Street, Regent Street, Oxford Street, Victoria Street, Adam Street and Cross Street were broken into between 2am and 4am on Sunday, December 8, with cash stolen in two of the break-ins.
Officers are treating the incidents as linked and believe them to be committed by the same person.
Police say the man pictured could help with their enquiries.
He is described as white, approximately 5ft 8ins tall, wearing all black and carrying a black rucksack.
Beat manager PC Harry Long said: “We understand how this can be an alarming time for local business owners but we would like to reassure them and the wider public that we are dedicated in our enquiries in this investigation.
“We have increased our high-visibility foot patrols in and around Burnham-on-Sea’s town centre and are visiting the affected businesses and others to provide reassurance and crime prevention advice.
“The man pictured is someone we are interested in speaking to as we believe he will help us further our enquiries.
“We appreciate the images are not the clearest but we hope someone recognises the clothing or mannerisms.”
Anyone who recognises the man or has any information about the break-ins is asked to contact police on 101 or by visiting their website.
