Detectives from Southend have issued a photograph of a man that they want to interview in connection with a distraction burglary in Eastwood Road North, Leigh on January 21 and believe that this man may be the same man who committed another offence at an address in London Road, Leigh on March 4 at around 1pm, where a man tricked his way into the home of a woman and then, while she was distracted, stole her handbag.
He is described as white, 50-55 years old, medium build; 5ft 5ins tall, clean shaven, greying hair and wearing a grey boiler suit.
Anyone who recognises the man in the photograph or has any information is asked to contact detectives at Leigh CID on 0300 333 4444 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
