Police have published an image of a man they want to speak to in connection with a burglary and a series of attempted break-ins in the Fishponds area of Bristol.
An unknown man broke into an address in Oldbury Court Road and stole two pairs of car keys and a black 2021 BMW X5 between 2am and 4am on Monday 10 November.
The other vehicle was not stolen, but officers believe the same offender was seen trying door handles to other addresses in the area between 1am and 3am on the same morning.
A separate report was made of a man attempting to enter a property in College Road at around 2am on Monday.
Nothing was stolen, but officers are linking the incidents.
Police are urging members of the public to help identify the man in the image.
He is described as white, with brown eyes, who is estimated to be aged between 30 and 40, who was wearing a grey raincoat and a white/grey scarf around his face.
Neighbourhood Inspector Richard Jones said: “We are aware of concerns in the community in relation to a burglary and separate reports of door handles being tried in the area, and we are linking the incidents with the same suspect.
“We understand the impact dwelling burglaries have on victims and how people can feel vulnerable in their own homes, but we remain in contact with the victim and a full investigation into the incidents is ongoing.
“We are working alongside partner agencies to address any concerns residents have, which is why we are increasing reassurance patrols in the area. We encourage residents to continue reporting similar incidents, or by sharing their concerns with officers in the area.
“We are carrying out house-to-house and CCTV enquiries but are now specifically appealing to residents in the area to check their doorbell and dashcam footage from the time of the incident, and to contact us with any information they may have on the reported incidents and those involved.
“We also want to remind people that most burglaries are committed by opportunist thieves, so please make sure windows and doors are secure, and items of value are concealed in a drawer or another safe place.”
