POLICE are seeking information after a 91-year-old woman was burgled by two men posing as water board officials.
The victim was approached by the men, one carrying a fake identity card, at her home in Kendal Drive, Carr Mill, on Friday, January 31. While the woman was distracted by one of the men, the other searched the house before stealing £250.
Both men are described as white, aged about 19 or 20 and about 5ft 4 in or 5ft 5in tall. One was wearing blue overalls, and had thin features and short brown hair, while the other was of medium build and was wearing a blue peaked cap and dark clothes.
Police also believe that a cream-coloured car may have been used in the crime.
