An elderly woman was conned out of hundreds of pounds by two men who told her they were gutter cleaners.
A man called at a home on Cliftonville Road in Woolston, Warrington, on Wednesday, February 8, at around 3.30pm and told the elderly woman living there that her gutters needed cleaning. The man offered to do the work for £100 and followed the occupier inside when she agreed.
The woman gave him £100 as a second man went round the back of the property with a ladder. A short time later the first man knocked back on the front door claiming the woman only gave him £80.
