Can you help Police catch a man who broke into a house in Frampton Cotterell on Monday February 25?

The elderly householders disturbed a man in their home at about 9pm.  The man claimed to be from the police and said there had been a burglary.
The couple later found cash missing.

Neighbourhood Inspector Andy Workman said: “Earlier this month we had similar burglaries reported in Almondsbury, Cadbury Heath, Kingswood, Little Stoke, Stoke Gifford and Bath.  

“I d ask everyone to look out for their neighbours, especially if they are frail and elderly, and call 999 straight away if they see anyone acting suspiciously at doors or windows.  This intruder was concealing his face. Police officers will not have their face covered and will  always have their identification with them, show it to you and encourage you to call  101 to check.

“It is worth making sure you lock up all your doors and windows, close your curtains before it gets dark and set your house alarm as well.  If you are at all concerned about security for yourself or a neighbour, please get in touch with your neighbourhood team on 101. ”

The man was described as white, about 5ft 4ins tall, wearing a black hat and scarf pulled over his face.

If you have any information which could help enquiries call South Gloucestershire CID on 101.

Alternatively ring the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. They never ask your name or trace your call.
