A burglar stole a laptop, wallet and cash in a burglary in Hove – and shortly afterwards a bank card that was in the stolen wallet was used near by.
Sussex Police said: “Police have released this CCTV image of a man they would like to talk to in connection with a burglary in Hove.
“An intruder got into a flat in Glendor Road sometime between 5pm and 7pm on Wednesday 8 August and stole a laptop, a wallet containing two bank cards and £20 worth of jewellery from a bedroom.
