POLICE have released an e-fit of a man who is wanted for allegedly threatening a woman with a knife during a burglary.

The man, who is believed to be in his early 20s, entered a property on Blenheim Close in Padgate through the back door between 2-2.30am on Saturday June 11.

He then threatened a woman with a knife and demanded money before fleeing when he was handed the cash.

The suspect is described as white, around 5ft6 in height, of a slim build, with light brown hair combed forward and dark bushy eyebrows which join in the middle – he was wearing a black zip-up hoody and jogging bottoms.

DC Alison McLoughlin said: “I would appeal to anyone who may have been around the Blenheim Close or Handley Drive area or the surrounding areas at the time of the incident and may have seen someone acting suspiciously.”

Anyone with information should contact Cheshire Police in 101, quoting incident number 832 of June 11, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
