Distraction burglars posing as police officers target home in Snodland

Police are hunting two burglars who posed as police officers to target a home in Snodland.

A man and a woman dressed in police uniform knocked on the door of a house in Coombe Close and asked to see if something had been thrown into the back garden.

The victim, a woman in her 50s, was alone at the time. She took the man into the garden while the woman stayed at the front door.
