Wednesday 3pm - Police are hunting two men who got into an elderly woman's home by pretending to be from the water board.
A man called at the address of an elderly lady in St Bernards Avenue, Louth between 3.30pm and 4.30pm on Friday.

The man who called at the premises is described as having a tanned appearance, in his 30s, of medium build and five ft six inches tall. He spoke with a local accent and was wearing a dark blue baseball cap. There is no description available of the second offender.
