Police want to speak to this man following a raid at Oslo Towers
This is the face of a man police want to question in connection with an aggravated burglary at a Southampton high-rise.
Detectives believe he is one of three men who forced their way into an address in Oslo Towers, in Weston, armed with a metal bar.
The men threatened residents with the weapon in the frightening ordeal, before raiding the flat.
Police said the would-be thieves left empty handed and confirmed that no-one was injured during the incident.
The men are described as white, aged in their 20s and were wearing dark clothing with their faces covered.
Detective Inspector Justin Norris, from Southampton CID, said: “This was a frightening incident for those involved and fortunately no-one was injured.
“We are releasing an image of one of the men we believe to be involved and we hope that someone may be able to tell us who this man is. Do you recognise him? If so, please contact us.
“Were you in the area of Oslo Towers on Saturday afternoon? Did you see or hear anything suspicious? I would also like to hear from anyone who was in International Way or at any of the nearby flats around this time who may have seen these men leaving or returning to a vehicle.
Anyone with information on the incident, which happened at around 3.30pm on Saturday, should contact Southampton CID, quoting Operation Starling, on 101.
Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Why don't the residents chip in & pay for security guards ?
100 residents chipping in £5 a week & you could get 2 security guards or is that down to the rest of us who have to pay to make our homes secure?

Maybe they could install a system where you can't access the lifts with out a card? how many of this type would use the stairs to say get to the top floor?
I( lived in a block of flats & sorry but besides the maintenance charge ( which is a lot more in private flats) I can't see where your paying for concierge?
