CCTV appeal after burglar used stolen bank card at petrol station

Police have released images of a man they wish to speak to in connection with burglary and fraud offences in Birkenhead.

In the early hours of Tuesday, August 19, a house on Oxton Road, Birkenhead was the victim of burglary after entry was gained and multiple items were stolen from the home, including a mobile phone and a bank card. That same bank card was then used at the Borough Road Shell garage, just under three miles away.

Police are now appealing to anyone who may recognise the man in the images, who they believe will have information on burglary and fraud offences in Birkenhead. They also ask for anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious to come forward.
