A BOGUS water official targeted the homes of two Radcliffe pensioners.
He left empty handed from a 90-year-old woman's house in St John's Court on Tuesday at 2.25pm.
But, less than 30 minutes later, he grabbed a handbag containing £100 when he visited an 80-year-old woman in Coronation Road.
He told her to switch her taps on, then went into her bedroom and took the bag. Police say the man was tall with long hair.
Anyone with information can ring Whitefield CID on 0161 856 8248.
