Pensioners have been told how to help protect themselves from crime, following an advice session from their beat bobby.

Pc Tony Leach, area beat officer for Wantage town centre, visited Wantage Day Centre in Stirling Close to pass on tips.

Advice included fitting door chains while instructions were given on checking callers' identity cards and details to avoid falling victim to distraction burglaries.

Pc Leach said: "It was a very productive session."
