Detectives are hunting a pair of burglars, one who distracted an elderly man while the other stole from his wife’s bedroom as she slept.
The burglars struck at the couple’s house in Halifax Road, Shelf, between 2.45pm and 3pm on Saturday. One knocked on the front door and kept the man talking while his accomplice walked into the woman’s bedroom and stole a wallet.
The man who knocked on the door is described as black, aged about 20, with short, dark hair and a “chubby” face. He was wearing a black jacket.
Police do not have a description of the other man. Anyone with information should call Calderdale CID on (01422) 337085.
