An attempted break-in occurred at The Red Lion public house in Overton at approximately 3:30am this morning. Two individuals were captured on CCTV footage trying to gain access to the premises.
The suspects were seen arriving in what appears to be an older-model white Ford Transit Connect van, believed to be more than ten years old. They are described as being of Eastern European appearance.
While the individuals were caught on camera, the vehicle’s registration plate was not clearly visible. It is believed that this may not have been an isolated incident, and there is concern that local pubs and restaurants are being specifically targeted.
Anyone with relevant footage or information is asked to contact The Red Lion directly on 01256 212053 or report it to Hampshire Police.
