Police have released an e-fit of a man they want to identify in connection with an aggravated burglary in Takeley nearly two weeks ago.
A 67-year-old woman was grabbed by three men outside a house in Chestnut Way, Takeley, as she was taking her rubbish out at around 12.50pm on Wednesday, November 4.
She was dragged inside, her feet bound with tape and her mouth covered with a cloth. The suspects demanded money and hit and pushed the victim.
A four figure sum of cash, jewellery and alcohol was stolen.
Pc Red Leeson, of Braintree CID, said: “I am appealing for anyone who recognises the man in the efit to contact me.
“He had a tanned appearance, dark hair and was wearing a yellow fluorescent vest and purple latex gloves. He also spoke some Romanian.
“I would also like to hear from anyone who saw three men standing by the ‘Roseacre’ road sign, opposite Chestnut Way, at about 12.30pm on November 4.
