A SNEAK-IN thief with orange rubber gloves who stole cash is being hunted by police.

The thief got in through a side door while the occupants of the property in Little Horton Green, Bradford, were in the back garden.

He went upstairs and took money from a purse and wallet. As he came back down, the occupant returned indoors and the suspect asked if she wanted any gardening done. He then left the house and ran off.

The suspect was white, aged about 50, slim, 5ft 10ins tall, with a scruffy grey beard and grey hair beneath a dark baseball cap, and wore thick, circular-lensed bottle glasses, a black waist-length bomber jacket, dark jeans, brown trainers and the orange rubber gloves.
