Two men visited his address in Haddon Way, Swaley, and picked up the items, handing over what was understood to be a cash payment in an envelope.

The men then left – and the victim realised the envelope only contained a £10 note and slips of newspaper.

A Derbyshire Constabulary spokesperson said: “We believe the man shown in this image may be able to help with our enquiries into the incident, which happened at around 9.30pm on June 12.

“If you can help us trace the man or have any other information which would be useful, please contact PC Emma Taylor, quoting reference number 21*326710.”
