A MAN has been arrested after a bogus workman stole from elderly residents' homes.
Last month police said they received reports that a man was knocking on doors in Astley and Tyldesley asking to use the toilet.
When he was allowed into the address he stole items before leaving.
Greater Manchester Police have confirmed a man they have in custody has been arrested in connection with the incidents as well as other similar offences.
