Ottawa police have released video footage that could be linked to the recent break-in at the home of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau.

The security camera footage, released Friday, shows a man that appears to be talking on a cell phone approaching a home in Ottawa's Rockliffe area.

Ottawa police is seeking the public's help in identifying the man, who they say was involved in a recent "nighttime prowling incident."

Trudeau's home was broken into last weekend while his wife and three young children were asleep inside. The Liberal leader was in Winnipeg at the time.

A police source confirmed to CTV News earlier this week that a note was left inside the home, warning the politician's family to lock their doors.
