POLICE officers investigating a robbery on a woman in Ipswich have issued an E-FIT of a man they are trying to trace.

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.
