Man who locked pair in bathroom as gang ransacked Doncaster house sought by police

South Yorkshire Police have released an e-fit of a man they are seeking and wanting to identify as part of the investigation into a reported burglary in the Bentley area last month.

At around 5.30pm on Tuesday, 6 December, it is reported that a man falsely gained entry to a property on Cooke Street, Doncaster after saying he needed to do some work on the water system inside the house.

Once inside the property, it was reported that the man then locked the two occupants in the bathroom, and alongside two other men, ransacked the property, taking a number of items of jewellery.

The victims managed to break out of the bathroom, and after an altercation with the raiders, the three men fled the property.

Officers have worked with the victims to produce this e-fit image of one of the suspects.

A police spokesman said: “Do you know him? Have you seen him before?
