Attempt Burglary

Good morning residents.

We have received two reports of attempt burglary at addresses on Mossley Road. Both incidents occurred at approximately 9:00pm on the evening of the 29th August. An unknown offender has entered the rear gardens of both properties trying the door handles on the patio doors of one property and then attempted to pry the lock off the garden shed of the second property. Thankfully they were unsuccessful and made off without gaining entry to either property.

The suspected offender is described as : male, approximately 5' 10" skinny build, very short cropped hair, wearing sports type T-shirt and shorts with tracksuit top ( potentially all grey ) carrying a can / drink of some sort. If you have any CCTV that captures this male then please contact the police via 101 or GMP Live chat ref crime ref CRI/06GG/0017008/25.
