Police have released an e-fit of a woman who they believe was involved in a burglary

The woman was spotted by a witness in the Waltham Abbey area and is believed to be involved with two men who forced their way into a vulnerable person's home.

She is described as white, between 20 and 40 years old, around 5ft 4ins, with straight, light brown hair and a 'London' accent.

One of the men was around a similar age, about 5ft 10ins, and was wearing a dark hat.

The police are not releasing any further details on the crime at the victim’s request.

DC James Smith said: "The victim did oppose publicity on these crimes but I do need the public's help in identifying this woman and warning the public.

“If anyone recognises her please contact me at Loughton CID on 101 or via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
