POLICE officers investigating a robbery on a woman in Ipswich have issued an E-FIT of a man they are trying to trace.
The incident happened on Wednesday at about 4.25pm in Netley Close.
The 55-year-old female was at her home address when she answered the door to a male who bundled her back into her house and pushed her to the floor.
She then heard other voices and was held face down on the floor as the man demanded she hand over her car keys.
The victim then saw two other men and the three who took her handbag, containing the car keys, before fleeing the address and stealing her car from outside her home.
The terrified woman was left shaken but uninjured. The stolen car is described as a silver 320I SE BMW, valued at �18,400 with the registration number YH56 KRE, although it is possible it is now being used on false number plates.
