Police are calling on the community for assistance after an attempted break-in at a Broad Street shop on the morning of Thursday, 15 February.

The incident, occurring between 8:45 and 9:00 am, saw an unidentified man attempting to force his way into the premises.

Thanks to the store's robust security measures and the timely disturbance of the perpetrator, entry was thwarted.

In the wake of the incident, police have conducted CCTV enquiries, which have yielded images of a man linked to the attempted burglary.

Although the footage does not reveal the individual's face, distinctive features such as a unique bag and a motorcycle, believed to be a Royal Enfield Hunter, could be key in identifying him.

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.

"We'd ask anyone who can help our efforts to please contact us online or call 101 providing the call-handler with reference number 5224040212."
