Man wanted for theft of £400 in donations from mosque

Officers are appealing to speak to this man following the theft of donation boxes of around £400 from Ashton Central Mosque, Hillgate Street.

The theft occurred between 5.30am and 8.45am on Monday, September 9.

It was reported that a man entered the mosque through the main doors where he took several charity donation boxes containing an estimated £400. 

Through initial enquiries, officers believe that he attempted to break into the administration office which caused £600 worth of damage to the doors and frames.

Police believe this could be linked with several similar burglaries across the country.
