Police have released a e-fit image of a man they are trying to trace after cash and a hearing aid were stolen in a burglary.

Detectives are investigating a break-in at a property in Garth Road, Sevenoaks at around 11am on Thursday, October 4 when the items were taken.

It is thought the hearing aid was being kept in a container which could have been mistaken for a jewellery box.

A witness reported seeing a suspicious man coming from the side of the premises and getting into a black Mercedes, believed to be around 10 years old, parked outside the victim’s home.

The suspect is described as white and aged in his 20s, medium build and with dark hair and a beard.

He was wearing a grey top and dark jeans.

Kent Police forensic experts analysed the crime scene and officers have made house to house checks while trying to track down CCTV footage.

However, anyone with information which might help the investigation is asked to call 01622 604100, quoting reference YY/36140/18.
