Reported
1st August in Harby:
Approx 5pm - 5.15 pm today, 3 tidily dressed (shirts, ties, trousers) male teenagers targeted two of the senior citizens bungalows in Watsons Lane, Harby
The persons called at one property but the next door neighbour asked them what they wanted. They said they were looking for their Gran.
They then left and got into a red 4 door saloon car parked in School Lane end and drove away.
No make/model or registration number of the vehicle were able to be noted or in which direction they drove away.
Another resident also had them knock at their door where they asked to go in to the house to check the water. The resident refused.
Beware of cold callers, even one alone may be part of a distraction burglary team!
Please be vigilant especially if you have elderly neighbours who may be living alone.
Pass information to those who you know do not receive email alerts. Please report all suspicious person and incidents to the police as soon as possible.
