A bogus police officer conned his way into an elderly couple's home in Tadcaster and stole cash.

Police have issued an e-fit of the man who called at the house around 5pm last Friday, claiming he was a police officer and had come to speak to the occupants regarding a previous incident.

The man in his 20s and wearing a dark suit with a tie and a white shirt showed a 'police warrant card' and was let and began talking to the couple.
