E-Fit Appeal - Confrontational Burglary - Norris Green

Detectives in North Liverpool have released an e-fit of a man who they would like to speak to in connection with an confrontational burglary in Norris Green.

Officers are investigating the incident, which happened on 4th June, when a man entered a house on Gable Court at around 5am. He was confronted by the male occupant, a 67-year-old man, and when asked to leave the intruder assaulted the occupier before taking a sum of money.

The victim was able to get out of the house and alert his neighbours who then called the police.

The man was uninjured but left very shaken by the incident.

The offender is described as white, in his mid-30's, around 5ft 10in tall with a stocky/muscular build, cropped hair and speaks with a Liverpool accent. He was also described as wearing a black jacket on the day of the incident.

Following the incident, crime scene investigators examined the scene, house-to-house enquiries were carried out and CCTV examined.

DC Richard Whates said: "This was a horrid and unprovoked attack on a man in his own home. He was left very shaken and upset by the incident and we appeal to anyone who may recognise the man from the e-fit to call us in case he has information that could assist us in our investigation."

Officers would urge anybody who recognises this E-Fit to contact Merseyside Police on 0151 777 4840 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
