PENSIONERS in the Marlborough area are being warned by police that distraction offenders are operating again in Wiltshire.
Sgt Steve McGrath said there had been distraction offences in Tisbury, Wilton and Salisbury of late.
He said: "We fear it is only a matter of time before these people strike in the Marlborough area and we would ask residents, particularly the elderly, to be wary. We do not want people in the Marlborough area to become victims."
