POLICE have released a CCTV image of a Rodney Trotter lookalike wanted in connection with a burglary.

Office equipment was vandalised at a property in Farncombe Road, Worthing, in the early hours.

Police say a “significant amount of damage” was caused during the burglary.

Nothing was stolen in the break-in, which happened between 3.30am and 6.15am on February 21.

Police have now issued a CCTV image of a man who is strikingly similar in appearance to Only Fools and Horses character Rodney. They want to speak to him in an appeal for witnesses.

Detective Constable Claire Mitchell, of Sussex Police, said: “We are appealing to the public to identify the man in the picture but to also cast their minds back to this date to see if they remember any suspicious behaviour in this area.

“We know this incident was a few months ago now but it happened during the middle of the night and we believe if people saw or heard anything, they would remember.”

Anyone with information about the burglary should call the force on 101 quoting Operation Absorb.
