Footage has been released of a suspect detectives wish to speak to in connection with a burglary at a pensioner's home.

An 83-year-old victim was targeted at her home in Wateringbury Close, Orpington on Friday, June 19.

Police would like to speak to this man

The victim heard a bang just before 9pm and was confronted by a man who spoke to her and said: “Do you want any work done?”

She declined his offer and the suspect then left the address.

It is believed he may have forced entry to the property via the front door.

He is described as a white man, of a skinny build with balding, brown/ginger hair.

On the night of the incident he was wearing a light brown jacket, jeans, blue cleaning gloves and a face mask.

No arrests have been made and the Met Police are now appealing for help to trace the suspect.

Detective Constable Ben Briselden of Bromley CID, who is leading the investigation, said: “We have today released CCTV footage of a man I wish to speak to in connection to the burglary and I am appealing for the public’s help to identify his whereabouts.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC quoting CAD reference 7705/19JUN20.
