Police
warning after distraction burglary in Burnham-On-Sea
Burnham-On-Sea
police have warned residents in the town to be on their guard
after money was stolen in a distraction burglary.
Burnham-On-Sea.com
learns the incident took place between 2-3pm in Stoddens Road
(pictured) on Monday afternoon, April 24th.
"Several
callers visited the house. They claimed to be working nearby and
asked if the owner could turn a tap on for them," said police
spokesman Ian Jury.
"It
was during this time that we believe the offence took place, as
the resident later realised that a quantity of cash had been stolen."
"We
would ask residents to be on their guard and only let people into
their house whom they know are bona fide."
