Officers say they believe the man may have information about a break-in at a property in The Street in which a gold diamond ring was stolen.

Officers say a woman left her home there at about 11.40am on July 26 but discovered the burglary when she returned at 1.30pm. She discovered her kitchen window wide open and the lounge and bedroom had been searched and a ring had been stolen from her jewellery box.
