E-fit image of distraction burglar who assaulted occupant of Crowland property

This is an e-fit image of a suspect police want to speak to about a distraction burglary and assault in Crowland.

At about 2.45pm on Monday, November 21, the man walked into a property in Glebe Gardens asking to read the meter.

Police said: “He then assaulted the occupant by slapping him and demanding to know if there was money in the house. The offender eventually left the property taking a quantity of DVDs.”

The man is described as white, in his mid 30s, around 5ft 11in tall, of stocky build, with short cropped hair. He spoke with an accent and was wearing a grey bomber/Harrington style jacket, blue shirt with a collar, and grey formal trousers. He was also wearing fabric gloves and his shoes were similar in style to Dr Martin’s with yellow stitching around the sole.

Anyone with information is asked to contact DC Steve Nesbit on 101, quoting incident number 260 of November 21.
