Burglars posing as roofers fleeced a 91-year-old pensioner of £1,500 she had been saving for roof repairs.
Police have again warned the elderly not to keep large amounts of cash at home after burglars stole the cash from the pensioner after calling at her home in Leigh last Thursday.
While one of the men kept her talking, the other searched for money.
Information to police on 01702 431212.
