MONEY and cards were stolen in a distraction burglary at Pickersleigh Grove in Malvern on Sunday.

A man called at the house at about 5pm, and initially told the resident that he was the gas man, then saying that he had done some garden work and wanted £10.

When the intruder left, the resident discovered the loss.

Anyone with information is urged to call 101, quoting incident number 551s/180818.
