Police have released this e-fit of a robber who held a knife to a woman's throat.

The victim, a woman in her 50s, was driving her car in Rothbrook Drive at Kennington, Ashford when a man stepped out into the road in front of her at 12.10pm on Thursday, August 8.

The suspect, who was white and in his 20s, approached the window and leant in with a knife which he held to the woman's throat before demanding money.

The robber, who had a shaved head and a ring in his right ear, stole £70 in cash and took a distinctive gold necklace from her neck.

The piece of jewellery he stole was a nine carat gold chain with a 22 carat gold '1959' sovereign on it which was custom made two years ago.

The suspect was about 5ft 10ins tall, slim and wearing a white short sleeved t-shirt and light blue jeans.

He spoke with a local accent.

Anyone with information or who recognises the man can call Det Con Gemma Crouch on 01303 289413.
