On Friday 15th April 2016 at 9.30pm, a Church resident answered a knock at her front door.
A man presented himself claiming that his vehicle had broken down on the main road. He asked the householder if she would kindly call the number of his breakdown company.
When the householder went back inside to get her mobile ‘phone, the man entered as a trespasser, stole the householder’s keys and returned to the front door.
Unaware that her keys had been stolen the householder attempted to call the number she had been given by the man but, unsurprisingly, it wouldn’t connect.
The man gave his thanks and left. He met an accomplice around the corner and together, using the stolen keys, they entered the householder’s car and drove off.
Within half an hour the stolen Hyundai was found crashed in a field at Altham. The offenders had fled.
PLEASE be careful when you encounter strangers. Always keep your doors locked. If you are suspicious then ring the police at once.
Take care.
