Nothing appears to have been stolen.

  • aged early forties
  • five feet six inches tall
  • mousey coloured hair
  • larger build

Detective Constable Richard Skinner, of Poole and Bournemouth CID, said:

"I am now in the position to release an e-fit of one of the men who approached the pensioner.

"I would urge anyone who may have seen or heard anything unusual at the time in Lulworth Avenue to contact police as soon as possible.

"I also need to hear from anyone who recognises either the picture or description of these men."
