Wedding rings and cash were stolen from a woman in her 90s, who was tricked by burglars in Northampton.
The incident happened in Gloucester Avenue on Wednesday October 1, between 3.50pm and 4.40pm.
Police say two women tricked their way into the elderly lady’s home by telling her they were medical professionals.
A Northamptonshire Police spokeswoman said: “Whilst one of them distracted the victim, the other stole two wedding rings and cash.
“One of the suspects is described as a white woman, about 5ft 8in, in her 30s, of a slim build, with shoulder-length dark-coloured hair and wearing a leotard, brown rain jacket and dark-coloured trousers. She spoke with an English accent.
“The other suspect was smaller than the first woman, and described as being of Indian descent, wearing a navy-coloured anorak and black trousers.”
Witnesses or anyone who recognises the descriptions above should contact Northamptonshire Police on 101, quoting incident number: 25000577568.
