Both incidents happened in Playford Court on Tuesday last week.

At around 3.45pm, a man entered a property and the resident disturbed him. When asked what he was doing, he stated he was working within a premises nearby and needed to borrow a pen and paper. The resident handed these over to use and then the man left. A while later, the resident noticed an amount of cash was missing from within the property.

At around 6.30pm, a man has entered another property and again been challenged by the resident. The man has claimed he found some money outside the property and was returning it. A short while later, the man returned and took the money back, stating he had dropped it outside the property but did not realise at the time.

It is believed both of these incidents are linked.

The offender is described as a white man, approximately 40 years old, between 5ft 5ins tall and 6ft, of a medium build, had short dark coloured hair and was wearing a blue sweatshirt and light blue jeans.

If you can help identify the man in the CCTV images, or have any information that may help police with their investigation, please contact DC Thomas Kent from Bury CID on 101 quoting reference number SU/15/837.
