POLICE are looking to trace a man in relation to a spate of attempted break-ins at pubs in the area.

In the early hours of Easter Sunday (April 1) there were three attempted break-ins at three different pubs in the same hour.

Between 5am-6am, the Four Horseshoes Public House in Reading Road, Sherfield-on-Loddon, The Chineham Arms in Ajax Close in Chineham, and The Bramley Inn, in The Street, Bramley all had the same method used to try and break in.

There were two people who used a tool to lever open doors or windows at each of the locations but were disturbed and failed to get in.

Nothing was taken.

At around the same time as the break-in attempts, a vehicle similar to a Mercedes CLK was seen driving around the areas.

Basingstoke police tweeted:

If anyone has any information about the incidents or the man in the photo, they can contact the police on 101 with the reference number 44180119531.
