An Edinburgh man stopped two conmen in their tracks as they tried to swindle an elderly neighbour out of hundreds of pounds in Balerno.
The hero, Michael Andrews-Reading, noticed that his elderly neighbour was in distress as two suspicious characters tried to guide the woman to a cash machine to pay for driveway cleaning.
He said that the two men, who were said to have Irish accents and drove a white transit van, approached the woman’s home in Newmills Crescent in Edinburgh on Monday June 7.
