Man 'broke into letterbox and stole mail' from flats' communal area

Police are appealing for information after mail was stolen from a block of flats’ communal area.

A CCTV image shared by the force today (July 3) shows a man in a large coat who police are looking to speak to because they think he could assist with their enquiries.

It is believed that a man entered the communal area in Wellsfield, Bushey, damaged the letterbox to get into it, and took mail that did not belong to him without permission, between Monday, May 13, and Friday, May 24.
