Image shared in appeal over security camera theft

Police are asking do you know this man?

Say cheese... Police are investigating the theft of security cameras from a football club which has shared an image of a man who, it says, was recorded on CCTV.

AFC Telford United said eight devices were stolen during break-ins on Tuesday and Wednesday night.

In footage distributed by the club, an individual appears to look directly into a lens, seemingly unready for his close-up.

The West Mercia force said it was aware of the thefts, and of the image, which was forming part of the investigation. Inquiries were continuing, the force added.

The club said officers had been patrolling the ground at night since the break-ins.

All internal cameras, the club stated, remained operational and the majority of its external CCTV system remained intact.

But it added: "As a non-league football club, the financial impact of this theft is significant."
