Six men police want to find after home raids
Police have released the images of six men they want to trace as they investigate home raids in Sunderland and South Tyneside.
Detectives from Northumbria Police’s Southern burglary team have released a series of CCTV images showing people who were seen in the area of reported burglaries that remain under investigation.
Officers are asking the public to come forward if they recognise any of the faces as those pictured could have information that could assist their inquiries.
Detective Sergeant Chris Raper-Smith, who spearheads the Southern Burglary team, said: “Every day we come into work looking to bring swift and effective justice against the minority of people who cause misery in our communities.
“As a team, we have had some fantastic results already this year but we will not be complacent.
"Burglary remains a key priority and we are committed to putting offenders behind bars.
“In order to do so, we always rely on the support of the public – and today I’m asking for your help as we look to identify these six men who were all seen in the area at the time of undetected break-ins this year.
“These people pictured could have valuable information that can help bring effective justice against perpetrators.
"Please have a close look – do you recognise anybody?
“Equally, if you are pictured, we are really keen to speak to you.
"Please visit your nearest police station and help us with our outstanding inquiries.”
