POLICE have released footage of a man they wish to speak to after an aggravated burglary which left an elderly Endeavour Hills woman with serious injuries.
Emergency services were called to a home in Georgette Crescent about 3.30pm on Tuesday 21 May.
It is believed a man entered the address and assaulted the 73-year-old woman occupant, possibly with a sharp object, before leaving the scene.
The woman received injuries to her neck and was taken to hospital with life threatening injuries.
The man was Caucasian, aged in his thirties or forties and wearing a high visibility jacket.
The Armed Crime Taskforce is investigating the matter and believe the man tried to use a stolen card at an ATM on the corner of Lonsdale and Clow Streets, Dandenong, about 4:05pm.
Investigators have released footage of the man at the ATM.
There is also a second man who uses the ATM around the same time and detectives are appealing for that man to come forward as he may be able to provide information as to the first man’s identity.
The second man was carrying a small yellow JB Hi Fi bag at the time he used the ATM.
