A THIEF pretending to be a door-to-door salesman stole a computer games console after tricking his way into a home.
The conman knocked on the door of the property in Lotus Way and said he was selling make-up.
He entered the premises and stole a Nintendo DS while the occupant was distracted.
Police advise residents to think carefully before letting anyone into their home.
To guard themselves against distraction burglars residents should make sure front and back doors are locked at all times, look for logos on vehicles and clothing, examine the caller’s identity card closely and use a door chain while checking it if possible.
