CCTV appeal following burglary of farm in Rainford

Detectives have issued CCTV images of a man who could assist with their enquiries following a burglary at a farm in Rainford earlier this month.

It was reported that Bridge Farm on News Lane had been broken into in the early hours of Friday April 14. The offenders had gained entry and stole money, purse and bank cards.

No threats were made to the occupiers or injuries caused.

CCTV and witness enquiries are ongoing to identify the offender, and detectives have issued images of a man they believe could assist with their investigation. 

Detective Inspector Tracey Martin said: “Burglaries and theft from a business is not a victimless crime as they have a huge impact on the community in many ways, especially small businesses trying to make an honest living.

"We are determined to find the offender so that other businesses are not targeted in future.

“I am appealing for the man featured in these images, or anyone who recognises him to come forward. We believe he could hold information that could be vital to our continuing enquiries.

“We also encourage people to come forward if you know anything about the incident which will help with our investigation.”

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact @MerPolCC on Twitter or ‘Merseyside Police Contact Centre’ on Facebook with reference 23000315350.
