A BURGLAR entered a flat where a disabled woman was sitting in her lounge and escaped with her purse.

Detectives investigating the incident have now released an e-fit of the intruder. He is described as a white man aged in his late 20s to early 30s, around 6ft tall and of thin build.

He had dark, short hair that was combed back and was clean shaven. He had a distinctive scar on the outer corner of his right eyebrow and was wearing a dark parka style jacket, dark coloured jeans and white sports trainers.
