Detectives investigating a car theft in Heswall last month have released images of a man they want to trace.

It was reported that a grey Mercedes was stolen on Barnston Road between 11.30pm on Wednesday 17 February and 6.30am on Thursday 18 February.

The car was later recovered by police in the Newsham Park area of Liverpool.

Officers have now issued images of a man, captured from two different CCTV cameras, whom they wish to speak to in connection with the incident.

If you recognise the man pictured or have any further information, please contact Merseyside Police @MerPolCC on Twitter - or 'Merseyside Police Contact Centre' on Facebook with crime reference 21000105879.
