A pensioner in Larne has lost £1000 after an unknown male targeted her at her home in Larne.
The money was stolen from the 102-year-old woman on Wednesday 30 January.
A male, believed to be in his 40's, wearing a fleece and a blue yacht cap knocked on the back door of her property in a small estate close to Magheramorne House.
