Burglars break into woman’s home by pretending to be officers

Police are still appealing for witnesses to come forward after an aggravated burglary saw two men posing as police officers steal money from a woman’s home in Pinner. The incident occurred on Tuesday, November 22, at around 8pm in Village Way, Pinner, whereby two suspects posing as police officers gained entry into a victim’s home. It is believed they were armed with a knife and a screwdriver. The victim believed the men were a relative returning home, police were told. A police spokesperson recommended advice for others to prevent similar situations. He said: “Your front doors are the primary route of entry and exit into the house. You can improve home security by making simple adjustments to your front door, including a door viewer.” Anybody who may have witnessed the incident is to call crime stoppers on 08000 555 111 or 101.
