Police seek public's help identifying person in photo

Officials from the State Police's Riga Region Department, specifically the Riga Northern Department, are trying to determine the identity of a person shown in an image. The photo, described as a screenshot, was released publicly along with a request for the public's assistance in identifying the individual.

Police say that any information that could help establish the person's identity should be reported by phone at 67086454, or through the general emergency number 112. Authorities are also calling on the person shown in the photo to come forward and contact police directly.

Why police turn to the public

Such public appeals are a routine part of police work when investigators need to identify someone but existing information is insufficient without public input. Publishing an image through media outlets broadens the reach of the appeal and increases the chance that someone will recognize the individual or provide a useful lead.

The State Police have not publicly disclosed further details about the circumstances behind the need to identify this particular person. Residents with any relevant information are urged to contact law enforcement promptly using the phone numbers provided.
