A BOGUS window cleaner stole £25 from his 95-year-old female victim.

The conman called at the woman's home in Brownroyd Avenue, Rawthorpe at 5pm on Friday.

Thinking he was a stand-in for her usual cleaner, she went to get some cash. The man followed her into the house and took the money.

The thief was white, and wore a black wool hat and dark blue jumper with dark trousers and trainers.

Householders in the Rawthorpe and Dalton areas are being warned to be on their guard against the conman.
