Distraction burglary offence in Caterham area.

Two offenders called at the home of an elderely victim an said they were neighbourhood watch officers. They barged their way into the home talking very quickly all the time; stating that the victim had been burgled and they needed to check the house.

Once upstairs they asked the victim to check her money. Once they have seen where it was they ushered her out of the room. One of the males stole bank cards and a tin with money.

They then left.

The first offender was described as male, thickset, did most of the talking, no particular accent, aged approximately 30 to 40 years, fair haired, approximately 5ft 8", light shirt, light trousers.

The second male was smaller than the first and slimmer possibly younger, dark hair.

Two men had called at the address a few days before Christmas stating they were from neighbourhood watch but had been refused entry. Similar descriptions.

Dogs out of control

There has been an increase of offences involving dogs biting other people or worrying livestock. It is the owner/ person in charge of the dog/s to ensure that they are not given the opportunity to carry out such acts.
