A CCTV image of a man police would like to speak to in connection with a mobile phone theft on a train has been released today (Monday).
Officers at the British Transport Police (BTP) are asking for the public’s help to identify the man pictured, as they investigate the theft of a mobile on a train travelling between Stevenage and Peterborough.
The theft occurred in the early hours of Friday, July 26, on the 1.36am London King’s Cross to Peterborough service.
Pc Fiona Blackwell said: “The victim boarded the train at Stevenage at 2.20am and noticed after she left the train at St Neots that her phone, a white iPhone 4S worth £350, was missing from her bag, which was placed on the seat next to her.
“She managed to track the phone and it has subsequently been recovered from an address in Peterborough and returned to the owner.
“I would ask anyone who saw anything, or who recognises the man pictured, to get in touch with us as a matter of urgency.”
