CCTV of the man police want to talk to

Police in Tameside are appealing for witnesses after a Mercedes car was stolen during a burglary back in March.

It’s understood two men broke into a house on Newmarket Road at around 7pm on Thursday 7th March.

No one was inside the house at the time but thieves stole a white 2018 Mercedes E-Class Cabriolet, two watches and cash.

The car was found the same day on Marion Street in Oldham where the offenders were witnessed getting into a white Mazda6 saloon.

One of the thieves is described as white, wearing light coloured jogging bottoms and a dark coloured bubble jacket. He wore a light-coloured woolly hat underneath his hood and a small bag across his body.

Officers have released an image of a man they want to speak to in connection with the burglary.

Anyone who recognises the man pictured, or has any information about the incident, should contact Police.
