Silver-Tongued Robber Hunted


This is the face of a smooth-talking intruder who talked his way into a woman’s house in the middle of the afternoon – attacking and robbing her – then starting a fire before escaping.

He targeted exclusive Penfold Street, St. John’s Wood, Westminster – which includes ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney as a resident – stealing gold necklaces, bracelets, rings and cash.

The 40 year-old victim helped local police compile this e-fit after her ordeal on September 18, last year, which left her requiring hospital treatment.

The suspect is described as a light skinned black man, aged between 30 to 35 years, of large build and approximately 6ft in height.

He was wearing a grey jumper, blue jeans and brown shoes.

Detective Chief Inspector Alexis Boon said: "This attack left the victim traumatised and feeling unsafe in her own home.

“We have issued an e-fit which we hope someone will recognise and come forward.

“I would ask anyone who thinks they may recognise the man in the picture to call us at Marylebone police station on 020 7321 9314 or alternatively call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
