POLICE INVESTIGATING BLAKELAW BURGLARY ISSUE APPEAL

Police investigating a burglary in Newcastle are appealing for help to identify a man they believe could assist with their enquiries.

Officers say offenders broke into a property on Druridge Drive in Blakelaw at around three o'clock in the morning on Thursday, April 23rd. A quantity of cash and bank cards were stolen before the suspects made off in the occupant's car.

Some of the stolen cards were later used fraudulently at shops in the Denton area of the city.

Police have released images of a man who was in the area at the time and may have information that could help the investigation.

Anyone who recognises him is asked to contact Northumbria Police via direct message, or through the live chat and reporting forms on the force's website.
