Man Sought After Criminal Damage at Southampton Casino

Hampshire Police are appealing for information following an incident of criminal damage at a casino in Southampton last month.

Shortly after 11pm on Thursday, 19 June, a man attempted to enter the Admiral Casino on Portswood Road while carrying a bottle of alcohol. After being refused entry by staff, he reportedly tried to force his way into the building.

According to police, the suspect then kicked the front door and a window of the premises, causing significant damage before fleeing the scene.

Officers have released a description of the man they would like to speak with in connection with the incident. He is described as a black male, aged between 18 and 30, with a skinny build. At the time, he was wearing a blue Nike tracksuit and silver glasses.

Police are urging anyone who recognises the individual or has any relevant information to come forward.

Members of the public can contact Hampshire Police by calling 101, quoting reference number 44250270651. Information can also be submitted online via the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary website.
