Impostors posing as window cleaners raid home in the UK

This happens a lot in the UK, but today the Islington Gazette News is reporting about “Bogus window cleaners raiding homes”

POLICE are warning residents of burglars posing as window cleaners after a recent spate of thefts.

The latest burglary took place on June 10 in Wallace Road, Canonbury, where three men masquerading as window cleaners approached a 35-year-old woman at her door at around 5.35pm.

They claimed to have just finished cleaning her neighbours’ windows and offered to give her a quote to clean hers.

The woman let them into the house to see the rear windows, they agreed on a price and then one man went to the kitchen to fill his bucket.

The victim sat down in the living room and realised that the three men had left and her purse containing £130 cash and various bank cards had been taken.
