Efits of the suspects have been released, and police are continuing to appeal for anyone with any information about any of the incidents to come forward.

Detective Constable Joanne Jabczynski of Kirklees District CID said; “The suspects appear to have targeted older people who live alone and may appear to be more vulnerable, although no one was injured, it is understandable that the victims were all left shaken and distressed.

“Our investigation in to these incidents is very much continuing and I would appeal to anyone who recognises any of the people in the Efits, or who has any information to come forward.”
