Distraction burglary Saltersgate last night

Around 10pm last night (Wednesday 25th November) a distraction burglary took place at one of the bungalows on Saltersgate Drive. The burglar received a warning on the head with a walking stick before leaving.

The police are aware of callers from a home insulation company earlier that evening and have confirmed their authenticity.

Were you in the area on Wednesday evening? Did someone call at your house around that time? Do you remember seeing anyone behaving suspiciously?

Earlier in the week - on Sunday - a man called at a house on Harrowgate Drive asking about a Sky box. The caller knew the name of the resident and became quite annoyed when the resident refused to open the door (the resident doesn't have Sky).

The caller was a white male in his early 20s.

Were you in the area on Wednesday? Did someone call at your house around that time?

Any information to the Police (0116 222 2222) and Watch (267 6397) please.
