POLICE are hunting a burglar who broke into eight flats in a single morning, stealing hundreds of pounds of jewellery including an engagement ring.

The crook struck at Kew Bridge Court, in Brentford, last Wednesday (May 9), at about 11.50am, kicking in the doors of eight flats.

He entered the gated development on foot, sneaking through the security gates at the same time as a delivery van, before forcing his way into four individual blocks of flats.

Police, who estimate more than £1,000 worth of jewellery and £600 in cash was taken, have released this CCTV image of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the offences.

Anyone with information is asked to call Trainee Detective Constable Graham Offield on 020 8247 6156 or Crimestoppers, free and anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

The person pictured is not necessarily involved in crime. His presence may be entirely innocent.
