A PHONE shop was burgled during the early hours of the morning in Bournemouth town centre.

Entry was gained to the EE store in Commercial Road and one phone was stolen from a stand inside.

The incident at around 4am on Thursday, July 6, is being investigated by police. 

Police Constable Olivia Holt, of Bournemouth police, said: “I am continuing to investigate this incident and am now issuing a CCTV image of a man I would like to identify.

“While I appreciate the image is not of the best quality, I am hoping it may jog someone’s memory and he may be recognised from his build and clothing.
