Distraction thieves stole �200 from a Thorney pensioner after claiming they were gardeners.
Police say two men knocked on the door of a home in Laurel Drive, on Wednesday, March 16.
One asked to use the toilet and the victim let him in. Both men then left, but the victim later found �200 cash had been stolen from the home.
One of the men is described as white, about 40, slim and about six foot. He had short, dark hair, a thin face, was clean-shaven and spoke with a local accent. He wore a long, dark overcoat and dark trousers.
The second man was white with a tanned complexion, about 40 with short, dark hair. Det Con John Harlock, investigating, said: 'These offenders may well have tried to target other homes in the area using a similar technique and I would urge any other victims to call police.'
Anyone with any information should call Det Con Harlock on 0345 456 456 4 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
