This man is being hunted by detectives after a woman in her 90s had hundreds of pounds stolen in a distraction burglary.

The victim was targeted by a man who called at her home in Brooks Way, Lydd, asking if she wanted her lawn cut.

Kent Police said after he left, at between 2pm and 3pm last Wednesday, she realised the cash had been taken.

The man detectives are seeking features in the efit pictured left.

He was wearing glasses and is described as slim, with short, dark hair. It is thought he might have been driving a dark Land Rover Discovery.
