A woman, believed to be in her 70s, knocked on the door of a property in Walton Drive, Holmebrook, shortly before 7.50pm on Wednesday evening stating that she was lost. She then ran away before the owner could help her.

She is described as white, with short dark hair, glasses and was wearing a coat and jeans, and carrying a white handbag.
