About a month ago, the victim stated she answered the door of her home in London Road to a smartly dressed man who asked if she had any items she wanted to sell.
Police say the 91-year-old invited the suspect in and showed him around, and agreed a price of £100 for a number of items.

The incident was only reported to police after the victim recently discussed it with a community worker.
The suspect is described as a white man with fair hair, of stocky build, about 5’ 5” and wearing a light coloured suit.
Anyone who has any information is asked to contact [email protected] or call 101, quoting serial 805 of 19/05.
