An e-fit has been released of a Lichfield burglary suspect.
An elderly couple disturbed the man in their house on Fecknam Way at around 10pm on August 20.
As the offender fled he knocked the victims over. Neither suffered serious injury but they were both left shaken by the incident. Several items of jewellery were stolen.
The suspect is described as having a dark complexion and being of either Eastern European or mixed ethnicity. He was aged in his early 20s, 5ft 9ins tall with a medium build and had short dark hair. He wore a black jacket and a backpack.
The incident is the latest of 17 burglaries reported in the last two months where raiders have gained entry to homes using gardening tools taken from garden sheds, greenhouses or outbuildings.
Anyone who recognises this man or who has any information is asked to contact DC Ed Rowe at Staffordshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 931 of August 20. Alternatively, they can contact independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
