Rogue traders stole £900 from a home after offering to fix the owner’s guttering.
The pair of tradesmen turned up at the house in South Kilworth offering to carry out the work and asked the 67-year-old resident to hold a ladder on the pretense of one of them going up to have a look.
While he was distracted, the other cowboy tradesman walked into the house and stole £900 from a bedroom.
The incident happened sometime between 10am and 11am on Tuesday, November 8.
Now police are appealing for anyone else in the area visited by traders offering to carry out guttering or cladding work, to contact them.
Anyone with information of rogue traders is urged to phone 101 and leave a message for PC Read, badge number 4750.
