Police are appealing to members of the public to help trace a man who barged his way into a vulnerable woman’s home in Mapperley and stole cash.
They have issued an image of a man they want to speak to about two home burglaries in which vulnerable victims were targeted.
The first incident took place on January 10 in Mapperley.
The offender called at the home of the woman, who has learning difficulties, and pushed her out the way when she answered her door.
He demanded money before going upstairs and rummaging through her belongings.
The victim later discovered cash had been stolen.
Police have been studying CCTV in the area and made local inquiries and have now released the image of a man who they believe could have important information.
Officers are also investigating an incident on January 12 when an elderly man returned home to find his property had been ransacked.
The address, in Forest Fields, was broken into by intruders who gained access by smashing a window.
Officers were called around 3.10pm and the victim reported several items had been taken.
Police Constable Mia Furr, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Both these victims are vulnerable and have understandably been shaken by these break-ins.
“Burglary is a horrible, invasive crime and we are determined to track down those responsible.
“We want to speak to the individual pictured urgently. If you know him please get in touch.
“If you have any other information, or CCTV, dash-cam or doorbell footage, relating to either incident please contact officers.”
Anyone with any information should call police on 101, quoting incident number 140 of 10 January 2024 or 457 of 12 January. You can also call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
