Officers are issuing a CCTV image of a man they would like to identify as they continue to investigate criminal damage and theft from a vehicle in Poole.

It was reported that between 12.10pm and 12.20pm on Thursday 16 January 2025 a Mini Cooper had its window smashed while parked in the area of Tower Road West in Branksome.

Items were reportedly stolen from within the car, which included a handbag, bank card, cash, and perfume.

It was further reported that two attempts were made to use the bank card later in the day.

Police Community Support Investigator Brett Hirst, of Poole police, said: “An investigation is continuing into the incident and we are now in a position to release a CCTV image of a man we’d like to identify as part of our enquires.

“I would ask anyone who recognise this man to please get in touch.”
