HOUSEHOLDERS in west Suffolk are being warned to be on high alert after bogus callers barged their way into an elderly woman's home in Glemsford this afternoon.
She had a lucky escape after a visitor called and they fled, but police are worried they might try it on in the area again.
Two men called at the door of a woman in her 80s in New Cut, Glemsford at around 1.40pm today.
