A CONMAN tricked a 94-year-old resident into allowing him entry to her Neston home.

The bogus caller, who was pretended to be from the water board, gained access to the property in The Quillet at 2.45pm on Thursday.

He told the elderly woman he was there to check the water pressure, and once inside he attempted to visit a number of rooms before leaving the property.

Police said it is not known at this stage whether anything was stolen.

If you have any information call police on 0845 458 0000.
