Police have issued a warning following two attempted distraction burglaries which took place in Wycombe and Marlow today.
The elderly victims were followed into their houses by a white male who, on one occasion, claimed he was there to fix a leak, and on another said he needed to inspect damage to the chimney.
Both incidents took place on January 20.
Thames Valley Police has urged people to be “vigilant” and to look out for potentially vulnerable friends, family and neighbours.
