Sneak thief conned her way into man's house before buying booze and fags with his cash
A woman posed as a health worker before tricking a man, 58, into handing over his bank card and personal identification number (PIN), a spokesman for Lancashire Police said.
After talking her way into her victim’s Devonshire Road home, in Blackpool, she also took his wallet before withdrawing £250 in cash at around 8.30pm on Sunday, July 30.
Shortly after, she went to a petrol station shop up the road to buy cigarettes and booze, investigating officers believe.
