Officers have released images of a person they would like to trace as they investigate a burglary in Newcastle city centre.
Between 1.45am and 1.50am on Sunday, February 23, it was reported that offenders had gained access to The Dubliner on Close, near to the Quayside.
They have forced entry into premises, before stealing a safe with a quantity of cash inside.
They have then fled the scene on foot – and the incident was later reported to Northumbria Police.
Extensive enquiries have been ongoing since the report was first made, including a recent review of CCTV footage.
Today (Thursday) officers have released images of a person they would like to speak to in connection with the report.
They were believed to have been in the area at the time the offence has taken place and may be able to assist with the investigation.
Officers recognise the images aren’t the clearest, but they are hopeful that someone will recognise this person.
Anyone who recognises them is asked to send Northumbria Police a direct message on social media, use the live chat function and report forms on the Force’s website.
Those unable to make contact in these ways can call 101. Please quote crime reference number: 021313F/25
