Police seek to identify suspect as Leeds burglar is jailed

Police have issued an image of a man they would like to identify in connection with a burglary in Huddersfield.

The appeal follows the sentencing of Mark Harte, 44, who was convicted of his involvement in the offence, which occurred in Fixby on February 26, this year.

The 44-yeare-old of Heights Drive in Leeds, was also sentenced for a burglary on the same day in Holmfirth, and was jailed for a total of four and a half years at Leeds Crown Court yesterday. (October 3)

Electrical items and jewellery were taken in both incidents after entry was gained by smashing windows at the properties.
