Watch Out for Scams

[Cookham Webmaster]

A CCTV appeal has been launched after a man tricked a pensioner into entering her property and stole cash.

At 9.52am on Saturday, the victim, a woman in her eighties, received a knock at the door from a man who claimed he needed to check her house for health and safety purposes.

The victim initially refused to let him enter, but the man threatened that she would be arrested if she did not comply.

Once inside the property the man demanded the victim to hand over money. The victims’ purse is also missing following the incident.
