A BURGLAR claiming to be an electricity specialist stole a Freeview box and TV aerial from a bedroom.

The man approached a Malvern resident on Monday, October 17 and said he was checking the electrics in the area.

He then entered the home at around 3pm, went up to the master bedroom, rifled through the draws and moved the mattress.

The burglar approached the local, who did not ask him for identification, after walking up a steep garden path from West Malvern Road.

The young burglar has been described as a white male of average build.

No damage was caused and anyone with information can call 101 and quote the reference number 0693s of October 22.
