A 91-year-old woman is reported to have been attacked on Kendal’s Hallgarth Estate (Cumbria, LA9) on Thursday (September 26) by a man purporting to be a tradesman. After hearing a knock at her door, the pensioner allowed the bogus electrician into her house when he explained that he was there to undertake routine electrical maintenance.

After gaining entry for two accomplices, the trio made away with a sum of money.
