Guisers make off with purse
A PURSE was taken from a woman's handbag after she gave money to two boys out guising.
The woman handed 1 to the boys, who were aged between 12 and 14, after they called at her door in Cammo between 4.50pm and 5.20pm on Halloween.
When her husband came home half-an-hour later he found the front door lying open and a red leather purse, containing 30 and cards, had been taken from the woman's handbag.
One of the boys is described as around 5ft 6in and wearing an over-sized black Halloween mask with bright yellow markings and red open lips. He was wearing dark clothes and holding a carrier bag.
The other boy is said to have been wearing a similar mask and dark clothing.
