Police are appealing for help to identify the man pictured because they believe he may be able to assist with their investigation into a burglary carried out at a Sheffield city centre restaurant.

The burglary took place at around 5.25am on Thursday, July 7, when it is reported a man entered Rudy’s Pizza on Division Street through an insecure window.

Launching an appeal today (Wednesday, July 27), a South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “Once inside, the suspect stole several spirit bottles, before making off with them.

“Officers are keen to identify the man in the CCTV image, as it is believed he may be able to assist with ongoing enquiries.”

Rudy's Pizza opened just five days before the break-in.

Ahead the launch, the excited owners described the restaurant as a ‘relaxed neighbourhood pizzeria’.

Before the official opening, Victoria Eyres, general manager of Rudy’s, said: “We’re overwhelmed with the response to bringing Rudy’s to Sheffield this summer and can’t wait to fire up the oven.”

Call South Yorkshire Police on 101 and quote incident 143 of July 7.
