Northumberland OPP are investigating two incidents of distraction thefts that they believe are linked.
Both occurred on Monday.
The first report relates to the theft of cash from an address on County Road 45 in the Township of Alnwick/Haldimand.
The caller advised that a male entered the property while they were outside and engaged in conversation regarding the whereabouts of a farm.
A second male was observed on the other side of the property.
After both males left the property in a silver passenger vehicle, the victim noticed that money had been taken from inside the residence.
A similar incident was reported from Morrow Road in Trent Hills.
The victim later realized that their jewellery box was no longer in the residence.
Officers believe the occurrences to be linked and the investigations are ongoing.
Police are looking for anyone who may have observed the vehicle and occupants, or have video dash cam recordings, to contact Northumberland OPP at 1-888-310-1122.
