Officers need to identify the man after a burglary was carried out at a shop premises called Power Up Computers Centre in Bury Road, Breightmet, between 1am and 3am on February 2.

The culprits climbed onto a flat roof at the rear of the premises and prised a window open.

After climbing inside they forced an internal door and entered the shop floor.

Computer equipment was stolen from the shop but the main focus for the thieves was the cash machine set into the front of the shop.

They attacked the back of the machine with a saw and stole £30,000 in cash.

Significant damage was caused to the machine and three men were seen making off on foot along Bury Road towards Twisse Road.

Det Const Richard Barrett said: "This was a high value burglary with an unusual method of entry and the offenders would have been at the scene for some time.

"Three men attacked the premises in the early hours of the morning, which had a big impact on the computer business, which also had a laptop and cash stolen.

"We are asking for assistance from the public in identifying this man."
