South Yorkshire Police release e-fit of suspect following Sheffield distraction burglary

It comes after an 80-year-old was allegedly a victim of theft inside his own home.

At 2.15pm on 15 November, the victim was at home when a man knocked on the door.

It’s understood the man started to discuss the guttering of the pensioner’s home, and asked him to look at the rear of the property. The victim then led the man through the house.

At one point, it’s believed the man was alone in the living room for a short time. After he left, the victim realised that money from the living room cabinet had gone missing.

Detectives have been working with the victim and created an e-fit of the man they would like to identify.

Anyone with information should call 101 quoting investigation number 14/173140/19.
