Police are appealing for information following a burglary at St Theresa's Church Social Club in Blacon.

A man forced entry to the social club at 1.15am on Tuesday 30 September.

The suspect then forcibly opened one of the gambling machines to steal money from it.

Police attended the scene within minutes - however, the suspect had quickly fled the scene on foot across the playing field of St Theresa's Primary School on Kipling Road.

Officers from Cheshire Constabulary have since released an image of a man they'd like to speak to in connection with the incident.

PC James Wright said: "I'd urge anyone who recognises this man or knows who the suspect is to contact us. Someone in the community will know his identity and I urge them to come forward.

"The money stolen from the machine was all in pound coins. If anyone works in the local area and has noted any suspicious transactions paid for with a large quantity of pound coins, I again urge them to come forward and contact the Police.

"The same goes for anyone with dash cam or CCTV which may have captured anything of interest following the offence taking place."

Anyone with information should contact Cheshire Police on 101 or www.cheshire.police.uk/tell-us quoting IML 2185608.

Alternatively, information can be given anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
