Appeal to identify man selling items door-to-door

We are appealing for information to try and identify the man pictured after reports of a man selling items door-to-door in Derby and Ilkeston.

Two separate incidents of door-to-door selling have been reported to us – targeting elderly individuals – and in one instance where a man entered the home of a man in his 90s in Hazel Drive, Spondon, on 1 February at around 12.45pm.

The incident in Ilkeston took place on Friday 23 January at approximately 12.30pm in Lord Haddon Road.

The victims involved in the incidents have been safeguarded.

The man pictured on our website was in the area at both times the offences took place and officers are keen to hear from anyone who knows his identity. You can view the images on our website by following this link - Appeal to identify man selling items door-to-door | Derbyshire Constabulary
