CONMEN burgled three pensioners in 72 hours in the Little Hulton area.
Residents in the community are now being asked to be especially vigilant in a bid to stop the thieves striking again.
All three burglaries happened at the homes of elderly people in the area between Tuesday and Thursday this week.
Detective Constable John Tuer said: “The bogus official or distraction burglar is one of the lowest type of criminal.”
Anyone with information should call the Robbery Unit on 0161 856 5094 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
