Police are appealing for information after a 12-year-old Burman cat named Jerry was stolen from a hotel in Penzance, Cornwall, last Tuesday night.



They have released CCTV footage of a man they wish to speak to and wish to identify in connection with the theft. Jerry was taken from the Hotel Penzance, on Lescudjack Terrace, Penzance on Tuesday, February 10, at around 10.30pm.

CCTV footage shows a man walking into the car park of the hotel, and kneeling down to entice the cat. The man is then seen once again having followed the cat to the top of the car park. He is then filmed leaving the premises with something stuffed inside his jacket, believed to be the cat.
