We are urging people to listen to a voice recording of a burglary suspect who last year tied up and brutally assaulted a lone pensioner in her own home.

Listen here:

The burglary happened in a house near Wildernesse Golf Club, in Sevenoaks on Friday 21 June 2024. The man struck the victim’s head with what appeared to be a handgun. She was then restrained whilst he carried out searches of her home and stole valuable jewellery and money.

Our officers issued several appeals following the burglary and have now published this audio file, which includes the man making demands towards the victim. If you think his voice sounds even slightly familiar to anyone you may know it is vital that you contact us. He should not be approached.

This latest appeal also includes new enhanced images of the suspect who was riding a bike and may have connections to areas in and around Staplehurst. Although his face was partially covered you may recognise his clothing or the bag he was carrying, which was possibly a Timbuk2 brand.
