A spokesperson from the SNT said: "The suspicious male had said that he wanted to check the loft of the elderly females home. The male stated a false company name that he was representing which was 'Green Loft Lizards'.

"Fortunately the elderly female was being visited by her friend that had confronted the suspicious male and told him to leave her friend's house.

"The male then went and sat in his white BMW that was parked in Cross Lane for some time pretending to be phoning his employer. The male was possibly waiting for the elderly females friend to leave the address before trying again.

"If you have received any visits from this male or anyone else quoting this bogus loft company then please report it on 101."
