Please be aware of a recent distraction burglary that took place in the Coppenhall area of Crewe between 13:50 & 14:15 on 13/04/2010. I am circulating this to all coordinators in Crewe & Nantwich as I would like everyone to be aware of this and make neighbours/family members aware, particularly if you know people who may be more vulnerable to this type of crime. It is worth being mindful that these types of crime can happen over the whole area and people who operate in this crime often operate during daylight hours. As such if people see any suspicious behaviour in relation to people knocking on doors and loitering i an area please make the police aware via 0845 458 0000.
A male approaches the back door of the property and opens the door to speak to the occupier. He states that they are working in a house nearby and need to check the water pipes. He is allowed in to the property and this male asks the occupier to run the taps upstairs whilst he remains downstairs. He then went upstairs and told occupier someone else was downstairs. When occupier went down and looked for second male he had made off through entry point and had removed items, including cash, from different rooms within the house whilst he had been in the property.
Description: Offender has been described as 5 ft 7, white male, slim build, short dark hair, early 20's, he was wearing a navy blue bomber jacket, with lighter coloured gloves, trousers and shoes.
