OAP targeted
A BURGLAR stole £170 from an 80-year-old woman’s handbag after calling on her at an address in Clyde Road, Gosport, some time between 1pm and 2pm last Thursday and claiming to have carried out work for her.
When she was distracted he took the cash from her bag.
The thief is white, aged about 50, of medium build, with a “weather-beaten” complexion.
Call police on 101 if you have any information.
