ANDOVER police have issued an e-fit of a man they would like to interview in connection with a burglary in Enham Alamein on 8 January.

The elderly occupants of the home in Chapel Lane, Andover, were watching television at about 5.45pm when they heard noises coming from the bedroom.

A man opened the door to the living room where they were sitting and stood in front of them. The couple challenged the intruder who went to the front door and, it's believed, got into a car and drove off.
