Officers were alerted to the break at Nansen Road which happened overnight on Friday 15 November. The 24-year-old occupant of the shared house found his door had been forced open and a check of his belongings revealed that two laptops, a black HP and a silver Samsung, had been taken containing valuable college work. <\/div>\n

Detective Constable Lawrence Shannon from Stechford police station is investigating the theft. He said: “By chance the student spotted his coat being worn by a man who had stayed in one of the rooms of the house sometime previously. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“He quickly took a picture of him as he travelled on the bus and we are now asking for anyone who recognises the man to come forward to help us trace him. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“The landlord had no record of the man’s name after his brief stay, and, although we have made extensive enquiries in the area, we have been unable to identify him.” <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anyone who recognises the man should call DC Shannon on 101 or alternatively information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. <\/div>\n
