Appeal to identify group in connection with Melton burglary

Detectives investigating a report of burglary in Melton Mowbray have released images of five people they want to speak to.

Between 6.50pm and 7.15pm on Wednesday 12 April, two men and three women went into a shop in Barker Crescent and spoke to a member of staff.

However, after they left the member of staff realised that two handbags – one which contained a quantity of jewellery – had been taken from an upstairs flat which is accessed via the shop.

Detective Constable Katie Harris, the investigating officer, said: “I believe the group pictured may have information about this incident.

“If you recognise them and know who they are, or you’re one of those people, then please get in touch. Any details you can provide could help.”
