An elderly woman has fallen victim to a bogus water board man
A man called at the home in Hathaway Road, Grays, just after 1pm on Tuesday claiming to be from the water board and saying he had left his ID in a van.
She let him in and he looked in and around the sink and then asked that the victim pull the chain on the toilet.
She later found that £500 had been taken.
Anyone with information should contact Grays police on 01375 391212.
