Police unite to trap burglars

Officers are liaising with colleagues in neighbouring forces about known burglars in the hope of identifying those responsible for recent thefts in the north and east of the country.

This week alone men have struck twice after claiming to be water board officials.

Chief Inspector Glenn Harper said: "Unfortunately these type of thieves target all residents, but specifically elderly residents and are intent on stealing valuables."

Anyone with information should call Nottinghamshire Police on 0115 967 0999 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
