Separately, police are appealing for information following a burglary of a 91-year-old woman who was robbed in her Beckenham home.
The victim was at home on the afternoon of June 27 when two men knocked on the door and pretended to be there to repair a leak in the boiler.
While she was distracted they conducted a search of her home before fleeing, having stolen jewellery including a locket. The locket had been given to the victim by her parents on her 18th birthday and included pictures of her late mother and father. A number of bracelets were also stolen.
Det Sgt Sarah Francis, said: "This horrible ordeal has left this elderly woman feeling utterly helpless.
"The stolen locket especially is of enormous and irreplaceable sentimental value. I urge any local people, or jewellers, who may have been offered such an item for sale, to please contact us immediately."
