Police investigating the theft of a VW Golf from a car dealership in Essex have released CCTV images of a man they want to speak to.

Cops in Kelvedon are currently trying to find out who stole the hatchback from the forecourt of a dealership earlier this year.

A 39-year-old man from Colchester and a 31-year-old man from Stratford have been investigated on suspicion of burglary but have now been eliminated from the investigation.


After studying the dealership’s CCTV, officers have now spotted another suspect and are appealing for the public to help them identify him.

Police have released grainy shots from the site’s security camera in the hope that someone will be able to reveal who stole the Golf.
