POLICE have released an e-fit image of a man seen leaving a house that had just been burgled in Uley earlier this month.

The break-in occurred in Raglan Way at around 7.30pm on Tuesday, January 5, when offenders forced entry to a property before conducting an untidy search and stealing watches.

The e-fit image is based on a description a man who was in the group seen making off from the scene.

A further two burglaries were committed on Hermitage Drive in Woodmancote, Dursley, at around the same time and are believed to be linked.

These two incidents are believed to have occurred between Tuesday, January 5, and Wednesday, January 6. Offenders forced entry to both these properties but it is not yet known what is stolen. 

On that Tuesday here was also a suspicious incident in Hermitage Drive. A resident had the security lights outside their property tampered with, but no entry was gained by the offenders.

Anyone who recognises the man in the image or has information on this crime series is asked to call police on 101.
