Police have warned that a suspected bogus caller may be planning burglaries in East Kent.

Officers have released an e-fit of a man who called at a woman's home and said he was there to check her boiler.

Police said the 85-year-old woman became suspicious and checked with her supplier and Shepway Council who said they had not sent any engineers.

Det Con Nick Houghton said the man "may be planning further attempts" after the incident in Hythe, earlier this month.

The man who called at the woman's home in Paraker Way on 4 December was described as white, aged 45 to 55, of broad build, with short brown hair, and smartly dressed.
