AN elderly man was the victim of a distraction burglary at his home in Danesmoor, Ruscote, Banbury.

A tall white man approached the pensioner’s home on Tuesday, and while he kept the householder busy, two accomplices got in his home from the rear.

He asked them to leave and they all walked off in the direction of Longlandes Way. The victim later discovered cash had been stolen. Call police on 101 to report any suspicious activity in the area.
