Police have released a CCTV image of a man they would like to talk to in connection with the theft of a front bumper and index plate from a bakery van.

The front bumper was stolen from a Toyota DYNA truck parked in Cavendish Place, Eastbourne, in the early hours of Friday, March 22. The vehicle belongs to Cavendish Bakery and is used as a lunch truck to deliver sandwiches to businesses in the area. The number plate is MK59 EBU.

The truck has been targeted before by thieves who have stolen its wing mirrors and battery.

Investigator Ali Crick said: “We are keen to identify the man in the image. This is the third time parts from the truck have been stolen and they are all unique to the vehicle. The truck is now unroadworthy, which is affecting the bakery financially. Please let us know if you have any information.”
