Bogus Callers - Warn Elderly Relatives

The Granny of my colleague at work got robbed at her house yesterday. Two people - a man and a woman - called to her house to say they were undertaking some tree cutting work. She went out the back of the house with one of them to show them the trees while the other stole her bag including pension book, money, purse etc.. They told her they would be back to cut the trees and then drove off. This incident happened in the Bangor area to a 94 year old woman but it could happen anywhere. I just wanted to warn anyone with elderly relatives, neighbours, friends etc to be very careful and not to trust strangers that call to the house.
