CON men who forced their way into a pensioner's house have stolen two purses, one containing £12 cash.
The 81-year-old woman invited the offenders into her home in Shaw Hedge Road, Bewdley, when they asked for a pen and a piece of paper to write a note to their grandma, who they said lived nearby.
No descriptions are available, but the two - a male and a female - are believed to be in possession of a large white van, with writing on the side. This incident happened at around 4.30pm on Thursday, April 24.
Later the same day, at around 5pm, a second distraction burglary took place at an address in Imperial Avenue, Kidderminster.

The male is described as white, aged 16-18, with short dark hair. He was wearing navy blue trousers, a sweater and a shirt.
The female is described as white, aged 15-16, with long blonde hair, which was possible tied back. She was wearing a navy blue skirt and blouse.
They were in a silver Vauxhall Vectra. Police believe the two incidents may be linked. Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 08457 444888.
