AN AGILE thief climbed over railings before jumping six feet to steal tools.

The suspect was recorded on CCTV, which shows him approaching the property in Marine Parade in Brighton on Thursday, July 26 at 6.10pm.

After looking around, he then climbs over the railings before dropping to the basement area below.

He is then seen climbing back out of the area before leaving.

They have appealed for witnesses and information, and believe the man is in his 50s or 60s. He worse a purple T-shirt with a green and blue picture on the front, along with black trousers and black shoes.

Anyone who recognises the suspect should contact the police on 101 and quote reference 523 of 31/07.
