A BURGLAR, posing as a gardener offering his services, is thought to have stolen a large quantity of cash from a Winforton home.
The incident happened at around 2.30pm last Friday (1st) when a man called at a property in the Courtlands area. He offered to carry out gardening services but the resident declined.
The victim discovered cash was missing shortly after with evidence of a search upstairs. Police believe a second person may have sneaked in while the resident was talking to the first man.
The person at the doorstep was described as being of Asian appearance, 6ft tall, of medium build, with short dark hair and thin facial features. He wore black trousers and shoes and a white top described as being made from thick material.
Any information or sightings of a similar caller should be reported to PC Neil Finch on 08457 444888.
