Police Appeal - Suspicious Incident In Northleach

Police in Cheltenham are appealing for information after a suspicious incident in Northleach.

The incident happened at around 7.30pm yesterday, Thursday September 27, at the property of a 70-year-old woman in Fortey Road.

She had been sitting in her front room with a friend when they heared a noise at the rear of the property.

They went to check and saw that a bedroom window had been forced open and a man was standing on a public footpath outside.

He claimed to be from the Neighbourhood Watch and claimed a neighbour had been broken into and that he needed to check the victim's property.

She allowed him into the house and he left shortly after.
