Police are not sure whether the crimes are connected. Two men called on an 87-year-old woman in Bicester Road, Kidlington. One kept her talking while the other stole cash.

Det Con Mark Rudman, of Kidlington CID, said: "There are callous criminals around who think nothing of stealing from vulnerable old people."

Any other sightings of these men should be reported to Kidlington CID on 01865 846972.
