Police
hunting a burglar, who smashed his way into an east London home after
staking out the property, have released this CCTV image of their
suspect.
The
CCTV images were taken from the burgled property the in a residential
street in the Woodford Green area of Redbridge, on October 18, 2018.
The
suspect is described as a black male, around 5ft 10in tall, with
black hair and beard.
He
was wearing a green jacket, white gloves with dark coloured trousers
and grey shoes.
He
was also carrying a rucksack.
The
suspect was seen sitting opposite and observing the house before
approaching the front door and ringing the doorbell.
After
no reply, he climbed over the side gate and into an alley between the
two residential properties, before taking out a crowbar and
attempting to pry his way inside.
After
failing with this method, he smashed a window and climbed inside.
Officers
believe he may have been looking for keys to a vehicle parked on the
front driveway as nothing was stolen during the break-in.
No
one was inside the address at the time.
Detective
Constable Dave Van Der Valk, investigating, said: “Understandably
the occupants were left feeling unsafe in their home and are afraid
that they could be the target of another intrusion.
“We
hope someone will recognise the man from the images and come forward
so we can find him and bring the victims peace of mind."
Anyone
with information should contact police on 101 or anonymously through
Crime stoppers on 0800 555 111.
