Police are looking for this man after an elderly woman was robbed in Chorlton at the weekend

The man entered the flat of a woman in her 80s with dementia, on Corkland Road, in Chorlton in the early hours of Sunday

Police believe him to have taken her handbag with belongings inside and was captured on a camera installed in the property.

The man was wearing a black mask covering the bottom of his face, dark blue jeans, gloves, a dark jacket and a grey baseball cap.

We are appealing for witnesses who may know who the man (pictured) is, or who may have seen something.

Sergeant Kevin Thomas, of the GMP City of Manchester South Neighbourhood Crime Team, said: “A vulnerable elderly lady has had her belongings taken while she slept in her own home.

“An opportunist took advantage of her vulnerability and entered her property, where she should be safe and secure, and her family should feel assured that she is.

“The suspect has been captured on a camera installed within the living room of the flat and we are urging anyone who thinks they know who the man pictured is, or who may have seen something suspicious at around 5am on Sunday morning, to get in touch with us.”
