Police appeal for help to trace man after cash stolen from car in Stratford

A CCTV image has been released of a man police would like to trace after money was stolen from a car in Stratford.

As reported by the Herald at the time, a mother-of-three was targeted on 27th October last year in Rother Street and had thousands of pounds stolen.

Two men were believed to have been involved – one was alleged to have deflated a tyre on the victim’s car to act as a distraction so they could steal the money.

Officers investigating the incident are appealing for anyone with information regarding the man pictured to contact police.

PC Aaron Bunting said: “This incident understandably left the victim shaken. We have been following up a number of lines of enquiry to try to identify the people involved and now we’re appealing for the public for help identify this man who may have information vital to our enquiries.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting log 153 of 27th October 2023. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
