BURGLARS who tricked an elderly man into allowing them inside his property triggered a CCTV motion detector, said police.
Two men who targeted the vulnerable victim in his 70s are being sought after a 10-second clip of the incident was recorded.
Detectives have released a CCTV image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the incident, which took place in Broadstone on Friday November 2 at around 7.15pm.
A quantity of cash was stolen from the property.
A 22-year-old man from Fordingbridge was arrested on suspicion of burglary and has been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
Police have appealed for anyone with information to call them on 101, quoting occurrence number 55180177933, or the free and anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111.
