Saturday, 20 Sep, 2016 0

A CCTV image has been released of two men sought in connection with a spate of burglaries at a hotel at London Gatwick.

On July 25, between 5.02pm and 7.38pm, a total of 53 rooms were entered at Marriott’s Courtyard London hotel, in the South Terminal, using a lost or stolen housekeeping master key.

Four rooms had property stolen from them, ranging from cash, foreign currency, perfume and valuable jewellery.

Sussex police have now released the CCTV footage showing two men enter the hotel through the main doors and make their way upstairs.

Police enquiries have established the men were neither guests nor staff at the hotel.

The footage then shows the men leaving the hotel after about two hours and 45 minutes.

None of the rooms were entered before their arrival or after their departure.

The first suspect is described as white, of medium build, with short dark hair shaved at the sides.

He was wearing a pink polo shirt, dark coloured shorts and flip flops, and had tattoos visible on his left wrist and his right calf.

The second suspect is described as white, of slim build, with short brown or grey hair. He was wearing a navy T-shirt, beige shorts, white trainers and white socks.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact [email protected] or call 101, quoting serial 732 of 26/07.

Alternatively, call independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
