Forensic police have been drafted in after a shameful conman stole cash from pensioners yesterday morning.
The fraudster, who posed as a worker from a utility company, trousered a three-figure sum from the house on Irvine Road in Kilwinning at around 11.25am.
The thief gained access to the property occupied by pensioners aged 86 and 81 and used a ruse to keep them both occupied while he rooted around the house for cash.
