Do you recognise this man?
We would like to speak to him in connection with a distraction burglary in which a 95-year-old woman had money taken from her house in Freshwater.
Sometime between midday and 1pm on Sunday 1 August, the victim was at home on Copse Lane when a man unknown to her walked into her house uninvited. He then left the address with cash from her purse.
We've been following a number of lines of enquiry and now have this CCTV image that we can release to the public. We are appealing to anyone who may recognise the man in the image.
If you saw him in the area at the time specified or know who he is, please call 101 quoting 44210305357 or go online and submit information via this link: https://www.hampshire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report
We’d like to take this opportunity to remind you of the following crime prevention advice:
Always report any suspicious caller to your home to the police on 101.
In an emergency, or if a crime is in progress, call 999.
