The City of London Police is appealing for the public’s help to find a man suspected of having stolen valuables from staff rooms in City bars – with detectives releasing an image of a man they’d like to speak to.
A man struck staff rooms in two bars, one on Watling Street and the other Black Friars Lane, within 20 minutes on the evening of Thursday 24 May 2012 – making off with bar-workers’ belongings including mobile phones and purses.
He also targeted a staff room in a Bishopsgate bar in the early evening on Friday 21 October 2011, again stealing bar-workers’ possessions.
The suspect is described as being in his mid-twenties, of slim build, between 5’9” and 6’2” and with short ginger or blonde-coloured hair worn in a side parting. He also appears to have a large tattoo on his right forearm and walk with a limp.
Investigating officer, DC James Emsden, said: “The suspect enters a premises and casually strolls into its staff quarters where he steals small, high value items before walking out.
"I’d like to talk to the man pictured as he may have information useful to my investigation. I’d urge anyone who recognises the man to contact the City of London Police or for the man to contact the force himself.”
Anyone with information should call DC James Emsden on 020 7601 2856. Alternatively you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at crimestoppers-uk.org.
