Lock up the silver

Hi Val
We have just received a phone call from our French neighbours warning us
that their have been robberies locally. She says that a group of 5 or 6
‘Romanies’ (gypsies? Oh dear what is the pc word here???) have been calling
at houses/farms in Varen/Lexos/Le Riols trying to buy or sell items and the
word is that this is ‘casing the joint’ . Not sure who else may have been
robbed but apparently a farmer in Le Riols has had machinery and engine oil
stolen.
Has anyone heard anything about this?
An update from Linda
A couple of burglaries in Varen targeting copper, jewellery and electricals.
The men are in two white vans with 31 plates and have also been active in
Gallic area.
