A CONMAN talked his way into the home of an 88-year-old woman in Adlington by claiming to be from the water company.
The man called at her house, in Anderton Street, on Monday and while inside, he stole cash and an antique engagement ring. It had a yellow metal band and two large diamonds.
The thief was described as white, 5ft 8ins and of medium build, with short dark hair and aged about 40.
