TROWBRIDGE Police are appealing for witnesses after a distraction burglary in which a 94-year-old woman was robbed of a locket given to her by her late husband 70 years ago.

The incident happened at about midday on Monday at Polebarn Road, close to the scene of a similar crime two weeks ago.

Police are looking for a white male in his early 20s, between 5ft 8ins and 5ft 10ins tall with light brown hair and an earring.
