Police are on the hunt for two brazen women posing as nurses who pulled off distraction burglaries in Crawley and East Grinstead.
Trickery on Ifield Drive
At 3pm on 23 September, the pair knocked on a home in Ifield Drive, Crawley, pretending to be sent by doctors for medical checks. They slipped inside, and one woman asked to use the toilet. While inside, they swiped valuable jewellery and made a clean getaway.
Strike Two in East Grinstead
Just two hours later, at 5pm, the duo struck again on Fairfield Road, East Grinstead. Using the same fake medical check story, they gained entry and stole more jewellery from the unsuspecting residents.
Police Launch Operation Dawn
Detectives have linked these thefts and are hunting the suspects under Operation Dawn. A third report from Ifield Drive suggests the pair tried a third home but fled empty-handed.
Officers urge anyone who saw these women or has any information to come forward immediately.
