Woman, 86, targeted by distraction thieves
AN ELDERLY woman was pushed to the floor when her home was targeted by distraction burglars on Sunday afternoon.
The 86-year-old woman allowed two men claiming to be from the water board into her home in Culkerton just after 12pm.
When she spotted a third man in the house she challenged them and was pushed over.
The thieves left empty handed and luckily the woman was uninjured.
At the same time a neighbouring house in the village was broken into but nothing was stolen.
Police are keen to speak to anybody with regard to a silver Audi with false number plates spotted in the area. For more information call police on 0845 090 1234.
