Two men told a woman they could cure her of “black magic” before they burgled her of her jewellery.
Detectives investigating a burglary at an address in Middlesbrough have released images of two men that they want to speak to in connection with it.
The burglary took place at around 1.30pm on Friday November 28.
Two suspects approached a 40-year-old woman as she was shopping in Middlesbrough town centre with her young child.
They told the woman that they could sense “black magic” and that they could get rid of it.
The victim allowed the men to follow her to her home. Inside the property they got the victim to remove all of her jewellery and put it into a bag.
They then made off with the jewellery. The men spoke in Punjabi and another language, believed to be Pashtu.
DC Matthew Hewitt said: “The victim in this case has been duped into letting two men into her home. They have then persuaded her to remove her jewellery under false pretences and have made off with it.
“We would like to trace these two men as it is believed that they may be able to assist us with our enquiries. Anyone who may know their identity is asked to contact police.”
Anyone with information regarding the identity of either of the men is asked to contact DC Matthew Hewitt on the non-emergency number 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
