Police have released a description of a man wanted for the attempted break and enters of an aged care centre in Kurri Kurri earlier this month.
Police are investigating a break and enter at the Lang Street facility on Saturday 10 June at about 11pm when a man broke into a 78-year-old woman's room demanding cash. The man allegedly assaulted her and stole a wallet containing cash and credit cards. She suffered bruising to her face.
A second break and enter was attempted a week later on Sunday 18 June at 11:30pm - a resident says she heard a chair move on her back verandah and reported a man was attempting to break into her room.
The man didn't gain entry and left before being seen.
Police believe the two incidences are linked.
The man is described as having dark hair and wearing shorts with two stripes down the sides and a jumper and has been seen with a dog.
