CCTV images released as part of Hythe theft investigation

Do you recognise this man?

We would like to speak to him in connection with a reported theft from an address on Ladycross Road, Hythe.

During the incident, which occurred between 3pm and 8.30pm on Monday 21 July, it’s reported that an unknown man attended a property to purchase a mobile phone.

This phone was then swapped with another mobile phone box containing stock cubes and the phone subsequently taken without any money being handed over.

We believe the man in these images can help us with our investigation and would urge him, or anyone who knows his identity, to get in touch with us.

Also, if you witnessed anything of the incident, saw anything suspicious in the area at the time, or have any CCTV, mobile phone, dash cam or doorbell camera footage which could aid our investigation, please contact us.

You can do this by calling 101, or by reporting online via the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary website, quoting incident number 44250332146.
