Distraction Burglaries.
There have two incidents of distraction burglaries in the Birstall area over the last week.
Lambourne Road and Oakfield Avenue have been targeted.
In one incident a white male, in his twenties, entered a property without permission and spoke to the elderly resident. When challenged he offered gardening services before leaving. This is being treated as suspicious and has been classed as an attempted distraction burglary.
Please be mindful to treat all unknown callers with suspicion. Request their ID and ensure that all other entrances to the property are secure when speaking to callers.

This message has been given to us today by PC Jamie Hughes.
