Northumbria Police have released an image of a man that they would like to trace as officers investigate a Newcastle city centre burglary.

Police received a report that a man had entered a restaurant in Grey’s Quarter, between 4.45am and 5.15am on Sunday, October 27.

The man, or anyone who recognises him, is being asked to send Northumbria Police a direct message on social media, or use the live chat function on the force website here.

For those unable to contact the police in these ways, call 101 and quote the following crime reference number: 126886V/24.
