Forum Devonshire Green: Police appeal after burglar strikes at popular Sheffield shopping centre

The short film shows a man who officers say they want to speak to, after an incident at The Forum, on Devonshire Street, where a man got into a staff area and took bank cards – which were then used.

A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “Officers investigating a reported burglary at a Sheffield city centre business last month have released video footage of an individual they are keen to identify.

Bank cards and cash

“At approximately 8pm on Sunday, December 4, a member of staff working at The Forum on Devonshire Street reported that bank cards and money had been taken from her coat, which was in the staff room. It is thought that a member of the public committed the burglary. It is understood that the stolen bank cards were then used in a number of transactions.”

Police say they believe the person in the video footage could ‘hold vital information’ and are appealing for him, or anyone who recognises him, to get in touch.
