CCTV images of a man released after distraction burglaries
Police have released CCTV images of a man they are keen to speak to following a distraction burglary and attempted distraction burglaries in Peterborough[1].
The first victim, an 84-year-old woman, was followed to her home from a laundrette in Werrington at about 2pm on October 19 last year. A man offered to walk home with her and stayed at the property for a number of hours before a relative arrived and asked him to leave.
The following day, another relative noticed money was missing from the victim’s handbag. On Saturday, January 27, the victim’s family noticed a man loitering at the property on a doorbell camera and told him to leave, which he did.
On Wednesday, January 31, a man followed a 67-year-old man from a bus stop to his home in Gatenby and let himself inside. The man left once the police were called and nothing was taken.
Anyone with information should report it[4] through the force website using reference 35/6162/24. Anyone without internet access should call 101.
