Images released in connection with incident at B&Q car park in Farnborough

Officers investigating an incident at B&Q car park in Farnborough have released two images of a man they would like to speak to.

At 5.35pm on Tuesday, 6 December, we were called to a report that two vehicles, a black Land Rover and a white Peugeot van, were involved in a collision in the car park on Invincible Road.

It was reported that the Land Rover had repeatedly rammed into the Peugeot. Two men, who were inside the Peugeot, ran away from the scene.

Three men, who were inside the Land Rover, were reportedly impersonating police officers. The Land Rover had blue lights on the vehicle.

We would like to stress the men inside the vehicle were not police officers and our investigation is ongoing. 

Following the collisions, the men exited the Land Rover and attempted to gain entry to the Peugeot, but were unsuccessful and fled the scene.

Officers attended the scene and a large quantity of cannabis was seized from the back of the Peugeot.

Another vehicle in the car park was damaged, along with bollards and one of the store’s windows was cracked during the incident.

On Thursday, 8 December, officers arrested a  31-year-old man from Aldershot on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery.

He has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.

We would like to thank the members of the public who responded to our initial appeal. As a result we are now able to release these images of a man detectives would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

Do you know or recognise him? Perhaps you have seen him in the local area?
