Officers are issuing images of a man they would like to identify as they investigate an attempted burglary to a commercial property in Bournemouth.

At around 2.55am on Wednesday 14 August 2024 a man attempted to force entry to the Otto Print and Coffee House in Wimborne Road.

It is reported that the offender initially used a crowbar to try and open the side door of the premises on Crimea Road and when this was unsuccessful, he smashed a glass panel on the front door in an attempt to gain entry.

The offender left the scene shortly after.

Police Constable Sarah Donnelly, of Dorset Police, said: “We are carrying out enquiries into this attempted burglary and we are now in a position to issue images of a man we would like to identify as part of our investigation.
