TWO boy carol singers ran off from a house in Burnley after snatching a wallet with £328 cash.
Police said that at about 6.15pm yesterday a 31-year-old woman answered her front door in Heather Bank, off Cog Lane, Burnley, to two boys who were carol singing.
But rather than wish her a merry Christmas, they snatched a black leather wallet which had been put down just inside the doorway.
As well as the cash, the wallet also contained Boots and Woolworths vouchers and cash cards.
The empty wallet was later found by a milkman about 500 yards away.
The boys are both white and aged about eleven.
Anyone with more information can contact Burnley CID on 01282-425001.
