The force said he is calling at the homes of '˜vulnerable people' and selling items including tablecloths, with one woman charged £80 for items which were only worth £5.

PCSE Rob Bell, of the Doncaster Central Local Policing Team said: 'He is deliberately targeting vulnerable older people and once in the house will bully targets into buying.  'He has taken a card from one lady and stolen £500 from her account so is wanted.

'South Yorkshire Police strongly advise not to buy anything from doorstep sellers and do not let them in.'

He is working with another man who is white, tall, slim and was last seen wearing a green jacket and a beanie hat.
