A BURGLAR spent 10 minutes trying to break into shops in a Wells Rd, Chelsea Heights, shopping centre, 5.50am, Saturday 13 May.
CCTV footage also shows the man attempting to break into a parked car. The man, pictured, wearing a fluoro hi-vis vest, then smashed a window to a children’s play centre and entered the office where he stole cash. He was picked up by a co-offender driving a white hatch, possibly a Hyundai.
Detective Leading Senior Constable Michelle Young, of Kingston CIU, is appealing for public assistance in finding the man. She said CCTV had been released in the hope someone may recognise him or his car.
