A woman is wanted in connection with a distraction burglary in which bank cards and five rings were stolen.

Police have now released a CCTV image of a woman they want to speak with in connection with the incident which happened at an address in Blackpool. 

At around 3.30pm on April 8, two men and a woman went to a house on Langdale Road to buy a washing machine which had been advertised online.

While it was being loaded into a waiting vehicle, one of the men disappeared into another room with the householder later realising that bank cards and five rings had been stolen. 

A spokesperson for the police said: "The incident occurred at around 3.30pm on April 8 at an address on Langdale Road.

"Two men and a woman attended the address to buy a washing machine which had been advertised online, and while the woman and one of the men were loading it into a vehicle the second man disappeared into another room.

"A short time later the victim realised that bank cards and five rings had been stolen.

"Our enquiries have been ongoing since then and we have made two arrests.

"Two men, aged 31 and 33, and both from Blackpool, were arrested on suspicion of burglary and have since been bailed to July 13.

"We would now like to identify the woman in this image as we believe she may be able to help with our enquiries."
