Lowest Of The Low: Do You Recognise This Burglar?


Police have released this E-Fit of a suspect, who tricked his way into a lone woman’s home with an accomplice, and emptied her handbag after she was slapped around the face.

The duo visited the address in Chart Street, Islington on May 30, claiming they had to check water pipes and the washing machine – and produced a bogus id.

This E-Fit is of the second suspect, who searched the 37 year-old’s living room while suspect number one asked the occupier to clear pots and pans out from underneath the sink.

When she heard suspect number two in the living room she attempted to leave the kitchen to investigate, but was immediately grabbed by suspect one and slapped around the face.



He held the victim in the kitchen as his accomplice removed money and cards from the victim’s handbag.

Both suspects then left the address.



Suspect two is described as a white man, aged 30 - 40 years, six feet tall, of a stocky build.

He has grey hair and a scar or a scratch that ran from his nose down past his mouth, on the left side of his face.

He was wearing a check shirt and blue gloves, which had a ‘NIKE’, branded tick on the top.



Suspect one is described as a white man, aged 30 to 40 years, six feet one inch tall, with black hair.

He has a flat nose pushed to one side, as if it had been broken.

He was wearing a white T-shirt and blue Jeans.
