A fraudster told locals he worked for a water company so that he could gain access to their homes. Police say Mohammed Anwar specifically targeted people he perceived to be vulnerable so that he could steal from them.

On June 21 and July 3 this, the 42-year-old used the water company ploy to get into the homes of two people in Leamington and steal their bank cards. He later went on to use them to get money. But his spree came to an end when he tried the same trick on July 5.
