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.
“The bank card was used that evening in a convenience store in Boundary Road, Hove.
“The suspect is described as 6ft, thin, of Asian appearance with a large nose, short receding black hair and long sideburns.
“He is believed to have a pronounced stoop to his posture.
“If anyone recognises the man or has any information about the burglary, contact police online or ring 101 quoting 09 of 09/08.”
Don’t you just love the lack of security in these new Contactless Cards. What is the betting that is how this person managed to use a card that he didn’t have the PIN for?
