A woman was the victim of a distraction burglary in South Avenue, Kidlington.
She answered her door to a man who said he needed to see her garden so he could put up a garden fence for her neighbours just after 12pm on Wednesday..
Another man then entered the property. Later she realised that money had been stolen from her purse.
Call police on 101.
