Two men have been charged in connection with bogus caller burglaries across the North-East.
The men, who have not been named, were arrested in Durham City on Friday by police investigating a series of incidents in which tens of thousands of pounds were stolen from pensioners.
The men, both from the Leeds area, were charged with conspiracy to burgle and will appear before magistrates today.
