Officers investigating a distraction
burglary of an elderly couple in Long Eaton want to speak to the man pictured
in connection with the incident. The couple, who are aged in their late 70s and
early 80s, answered the door of their flat, on Kirkwhite Avenue, at around
5.20pm on Wednesday 4th November. A man was at
the door claiming to be from Neighbourhood Watch, who then pushed his way in
and snatched a wallet from the elderly man, which contained cash and bank
cards. As he snatched the wallet there
was a struggle between the victim and the man, and the victim ended up being
pulled to the floor. He then tried to
leave and as he did he pushed the elderly woman out of the way, and she also
fell to the floor. The man is described
as being white, around 5ft 8ins tall and in his 20s or 30s.
Since the incident officers have been following
several lines of enquiry and are now appealing for help identifying the man
pictured. While the image is not of the
best quality it is hoped someone recognises the clothing and the description
given above. If you have any information
please contact us on the non-emergency contact methods below.
Please quote reference 20*583606 and the name of
the officer in the case, DC Kate Main, in any correspondence.
