Police are searching for a man they believe could have vital information about a burglary at a Wiltshire shopping centre.

The Shires Shopping Centre in Trowbridge is home to a large number of nationwide stores including Waterstones, Card Factory, EE, Greggs, Vodafone and more.

In April 2026, the shopping centre was at the centre of a serious burglary.

Very little information has been shared, but police officers who have been investigating the incident for the last three months now believe they've found a new lead, as they search for a man who could help.

Wiltshire Police has emphasised that there is no suggestion this man has done anything wrong, but they do believe he could help with enquiries and officers are keen to speak with him.

Police are now asking anyone who recognises this man to get in touch with Detective Constable Baldock as soon as possible.
