Investigations are continuing in Eastbourne after a victim lost £8,000 in an apparent distraction burglary.

Two men, described as being aged in their 20s and driving a white Ford Transit van, visited an address in Homewood Close around 8.20am on Friday 14 May.

They offered to carry out some work on the victim’s roof and agreed a price — which was handed over in cash.

But, at some point that morning, the two men are believed by police to have entered the victim’s home, and then stole a further £8,000 in cash.

Both men left in the van around 10.40am.

Police investigating the matter said they hope to hear from anyone who saw two men or a white Ford Transit van in the area around that time, or who may have witnessed any other suspicious behaviour.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police online or by calling 101 quoting serial 441 of 14/05.
