Police have released an unusual efit of a man they are hunting over a distraction burglary in Kent.

Detectives today asked for the public's help in tracing a man with a "distinctive face" and "misshapen nose" after two burglars targeted a woman in her 60s near Tenterden.

The pair knocked on the door of her home in the Ashford Road area of St Michael's at about 8pm on July 14, Kent Police said.

After coaxing the woman into her garden on the premise of talking to her about a piece of furniture, one slipped inside and swiped a large blue handbag containing bank cards, cash and a mobile phone.

The pair, who police said had Irish accents, then fled the scene.

One was described as a white man in his 20s, about 5ft 9ins tall and of average build. The victim told police he had a "distinctive face with a misshapen nose" and short ginger hair.

The second man was white, aged in his 20s, and about 5ft 8ins tall. He had short dark hair and was also wearing a black leather jacket, police said.
