Over the last 30 days, thirteen burglaries have occurred at various hotels in the Cable Beach
area resulting in thousands of dollars worth of cash and electronic devices being stolen.
Yesterday, as part of their investigation, police tried to speak to a man located near the
vicinity of a recent burglary but he fled on a pushbike. He left behind a bag containing
several items of stolen property.
The man is described as 25 to 30 years of age, approximately 173 to 183cms tall, slim build
with black curly hair, possibly tied in a ponytail. He was unshaven with a moustache.
He was wearing a black t-shirt and black jeans and may have skin missing from his feet due
to running on bitumen and bushland barefooted.
He was seen riding an old red Cyclops brand mountain bike
Anyone with any information on these incidents or can identify the man are asked to call
Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
