Detectives are trying to track this man in connection with a fumbling burglary attempt in Brighton.

Sussex Police are investigating a break-in at a house in Elmore Road, Brighton, that occurred between 2.20pm and 3pm on October 21.

Nearby neighbours saw two or three men jumping over the fence at the property before leaving in a silver BMW.

Detective Constable Jane Kemp said the men broke through a door at the back of the property and carried out an “untidy search” of the home although it is not thought they managed to steal anything.

One of the suspects is described as about 5' 9" and of a stocky build.

Anyone with information is asked to call Sussex Police on 101@sussex.pnn.police.uk quoting serial 934 of 21/10.
