THREE teenagers tricked their way into the home of an elderly woman and stole her purse.
Worcester police say the two girls and a boy went to the woman's house in Ombersley Road, Worcester, at about 4.30pm on Thursday, December 19.
They claimed their mother had sent them.
The woman let them in and they left after having a drink. It is believed they stole a black leather purse containing £26 in cash. A set of keys is also missing.
The youngsters are described as being around 16 years-old. One girl wore dark clothing, a cream baseball cap and she had a black right eye.
The other girl had fair hair tied back and wore pink shoes and a pink top. The boy is described as wearing black silky tracksuit bottoms and had short dark hair.
Anyone with any information about the theft, or believes they recognise the description of the youngsters, should contact PC Karl Lacey on 08457 444 888 quoting c/651803.
