E-fit of suspect released after woman is threatened in Upminster

Detectives have released an E-FIT image of a man they would like to trace following a report of threats of violence in Havering.

Police were called at 12.30hrs on Saturday, 12 November to a business address on Corbets Tey Road, Upminster following a disturbance.

The victim, a woman aged in her 50s, was approached by a man unknown to her. He made threats to her, causing distress and fear.

Officers responded and conducted an area search but the suspect could not be located.

Detectives have pursued a number of lines of enquiry as part of the investigation and are now issuing the image in order to identify the suspect.

PC Paul Goddard, from East Area Command, said: “Although the victim was not physically harmed in this incident it was extremely distressing for her. The behaviour of this man is disturbing.

“I would ask anyone who recognises the person in this E-FIT to come forward and speak to police immediately.”
