AGE Concern Swindon has condemned those responsible for a string of burglaries targeting elderly people.
As revealed in the Advertiser on Thursday police believe a gang of organised crooks could be behind a spate of distraction burglaries.
Police have been called out 10 times to deal with pensioners who have been duped by con artists.
Jo Osorio, the director of Age Concern Swindon, said: "I am really concerned to hear the situation.
"One older person affected is one too many."
Older people and their families, friends and neighbours can call Age Concern Swindon on 01793 692166 for a range of information and advice.
