Image released following reports of man trying door handles

We are releasing a CCTV image of a man we would like to speak to following reports of someone trying door handles in Ripley.

The incidents happened in the early hours of Monday 1 April. Four homes on Argyll Road and one on Nottingham Road appear to have been targeted.

No entry was gained to the properties and officers are investigating the reports as attempted burglaries.

We would like to speak to anyone who can help identify this man or who may have seen a man acting suspiciously in the area. Do you recognise him?
