Police are investigating after a man stole 16 mobile phones from a Cheltenham business in June.
Investigators have been told the man entered a retail store and used a steel bar to smash open a glass cabinet containing Optus prepaid mobile phones on 26 June about 2.30pm.
It's believed the man loaded the items into a trolley before fleeing the store.
The total value of the stolen phones is $2264.
Investigators have released a still image and CCTV footage of a man they believe may be able to assist with their enquiries.
The man is described as Caucasian, 25-30 years of age with dark coloured hair.
He was wearing a grey hooded jumper with the brand 'Brooklyn' and number '76' printed across the front, as well as khaki-coloured pants and black shoes with white soles.
