A CONMAN who tricked his way into the home of an 81-year-old woman stole £40 in cash.
The man bluffed his way into the house in Rothesay Grove, Nunthorpe, Middlesbrough, by saying he was working at a neighbour's home, but needed to check her water pipes.
The man, who spoke with an Irish accent, is aged between 17 and 23. He called at the house on July 2.
Anyone who can help is asked to call police.
