Appeal: burglary at Cash Converters Lincoln

We are appealing for witnesses following a commercial burglary at Cash Converters in High Street, Lincoln in the early hours of this morning (5^th November).

We were called to reports of three men who had forced entry to the shop at 3.56am today. They may have had sledge hammers with them, which would have been clearly visible.

All three suspects are described as wearing dark tracksuits with white stripes down the sides, and one had a red baseball cap. They were all wearing blue face masks.

Working with the CCTV team at the City of Lincoln Council, we believe that the suspects left via the front entrance, with one of them heading down the alleyway past student accommodation blocks and the other two walking down the train tracks. They were carrying a holdall and green bag for life. 

Mobile phones, iPads, a laptop and a camera were stolen.

Officers remain on scene and in the local area today carrying out enquiries.

We would like to hear from anyone who was in the area and witnessed the incident, or may have dashcam or CCTV footage of the incident.

If you can help, there are a number of ways to contact us:

• By calling 101 quoting incident 32 of 5^th November.
• By emailing [email protected] – don’t forget to include incident 32 of 5^th November in the subject line.
