1/2/10 - At approximately 1pm Sunday 31st January a distraction burglary occurred on Higher Walton Road, Walton-le-Dale, where a 93yr old lady (who is almost completely blind) was targeted by three males who visited her stating that she had a water leak at the rear of the property. The men asked to enter the house to enable them to look for certain pipes and the victim allowed them in. There are no descriptions of the males but it is understood that a white van had been parked nearby. If you have any elderly relatives, friends or neighbours, please advise them about being careful when dealing with doorstep callers.
