Sevenoaks Burglary Investigation

New pictures from CCTV released

Police are seeking to identify a man as new CCTV footage and images are released as part of an investigation into a violent burglary in Sevenoaks.

Photos of jewellery have also now been published after possessions worth almost £2million were stolen.

The burglary happened at around 3.55pm on Friday 21 June 2024, when a woman was assaulted by a man who entered a residential property near Wildernesse Golf Club.

The man threatened the victim with what appeared to be a handgun and struck her head with the weapon.

CCTV images

Officers have identified several CCTV images of a man they want to identify, who was travelling on a train.

He was wearing a face mask, cream coloured baseball cap and had trainers with distinctive red soles. He sometimes wore a high-visibility top when cycling.

The man travelled between Staplehurst and Sevenoaks railway stations between 9.48am and 10.26am on the day of the offence.

After the offence took place the suspect took trains between HildenboroughTonbridge and Marden between 5.37pm and 6.02pm. He was seen cycling shortly after 6pm in Staplehurst.

Can you help?

Detective Inspector Maxine Harris said: 'The man we want to locate would have stood out as he was wearing a mask, was in possession of a bicycle and appeared overdressed on what was a warm day. 'I believe that despite his face being covered someone will know him and I am urging anyone who may have seen him or recognises him to please call us immediately. 'Whilst it is possible the man has strong connections to the Staplehurst area, we are not discounting that he may live outside of Kent. He should not be approached.'

At least 50 items were reported stolen during the burglary including rings, pendants and watches, and anyone who may have been offered them for sale is urged to get in touch.

Please call Kent Police on 01622 604100 quoting reference 46/102682/24. You can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111, or by using the online form.
