Appeal to identify burglar who suffered injuries after Gloucester break in

Officers are appealing for the public's help to identify a burglar who may have sustained facial injuries following an incident in Quedgeley.

At approximately 1.30am yesterday, Monday 17 February, an offender entered a home on a road off The Holly Grove.

The offender is described as being a man, around 6ft tall with facial hair. He was wearing dark clothing, grey shoes and a beanie hat.
