An e-fit has been released of a man police want to speak to in relation to a burglary.

After returning to her home in Dartmouth Road, Cricklewood, on Saturday, August 8, at about 5.50pm, a woman found a man in the doorway.

She tried to block his path, and followed him as he started to leave.

The suspect dropped an item on the ground, which he picked up and told the victim to back away, before he gave the impression he had a knife – although one was not seen. He then fled from the scene.

The woman went into her home, and found it had been burgled.

The man is described as black, aged approximately 20, with dark brown curly hair and a dark brown goatee-style beard.

He was wearing a black and beige hooded top and dark blue or black jeans.

Anyone with information is asked to call Brent CID on 101, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or at www.crimestoppers-uk.org
