The incident took place at 2pm on Monday April 27 in Kirkwhite Avenue.

The couple, in their 70s answered their door to a man who said he needed to check an alarm. The man entered the property, stole an amount of money and then left the house.

The man pictured was seen in the area at the time of the incident and officers would like to speak to him as a matter of urgency. The image has already been circulated, however, it is hoped that this further appeal will prompt someone to come forward.

Anyone who recognises the man is asked to contact Derbyshire police on 101 using the crime reference number 20*214205.
