THE hunt is on for a suspect who attempted to burgle a Wiltshire auction house in broad daylight.
A man attempted to break into the store in the Bath Road Business Centre in Devizes, on December 23, 2022, just before 11am.
He caused damage to the door while trying to force his way in, but left the scene after failing to gain entry to the premises.
The police have now released a CCTV image of a man who they are attempting to identify in connection with the failed break-in.
They have urged anyone who may recognise the man, or have information about the incident, to contact them.
