Police would like to identify this man in connection with a burglary in Leigh.

Two men broke into the residential property, which is in a road off Stonehill Road at around 2pm on Wednesday, October 22.

They woke up an elderly woman who was asleep inside, told her to be quiet and took items of jewellery and cash worth around £1,000.

She was not harmed but was left feeling very distressed after the incident.

The men are described as white and aged in their 20s.

Officers have issued an Efit of one of the men.

He is thought to have light, ginger coloured hair, was of medium build and was wearing a grey jumper.

The other man was wearing a navy blue hooded top.

Anybody who recognises the man or who knows anything about the burglary is asked to contact Dc Rory Scarlett at Southend Police on 101.
