DO NOT APPROACH: Manhunt for cyclist who 'attacked woman after bursting into her home'

POLICE have warned the public not to approach this cyclist who is wanted in connection with a violent burglary in Sevenoaks.

Detectives issued the warning as they released this image of the wanted man on his bike.

They are appealing for dashcam footage after a woman was assaulted by a man who entered a residential property in Parkfield near Wildernesse Golf Club.

The burglary happened at around 3.55pm on Friday June 21 2024.

A Kent Police spokesperson said: "The suspect left after stealing several items, including jewellery.

"Police have identified a number of roads he may have used and are urging motorists to check for any dashcam footage between 3pm and 6.30pm.

"These specifically include routes leading to surrounding areas including Underriver, Riverhill, Bitchet Green and Hildenborough."

DI Maxine Harris, of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: ‘We are asking for drivers to help us to locate this cyclist, who should not be approached.

"He was wearing a high visibility vest and we know that at around 4.50pm he made his way along Park Lane, in the vicinity of the Buck’s Head pub and Sevenoaks Preparatory School.

"We have since had patrols in this area stopping and speaking to drivers to hopefully jog their memories and are urging anyone else who travels in this location to please also check your dashcams. You may have evidence which is vital to this investigation."

 Residents with CCTV and doorbell cameras should also review video which may assist the investigation. Anyone with information should call Kent Police on 01622 604100, quoting reference 46/102682/24.
