“The suspect is described as white, approximately 5ft 10ins tall, and was dressed in dark clothing.
“At around 6.10am, the suspect entered a shop in the Southey Green area and attempted to purchase items using a bankcard taken during the burglary. The transaction was declined and the suspect left the shop empty-handed.”
