POLICE officers investigating an aggravated burglary in Harlow, where men impersonated police officers to get into the property, are releasing an efit of a man they want to trace.

Two men went to an address in Waterhouse Moor between 8.10pm and 8.35pm on Sunday, February 17, and claimed to be police officers investigating a burglary at the address.

The occupants challenged the men and asked to see their identification but they refused and handcuffed a man and woman.

Two other men with their faces covered then entered the property and carried out a messy search before all four left in white BMW.

One of the men who knocked on the door has been described as being white, aged in his 20s and wore a high visibility jacket.

The other man has been described as being black, short and of a large build. The remaining suspects wore dark clothing and dark balaclavas.
