Two rogue traders who conned an elderly man out of almost £30,000 for poor roof work that was not needed have been sentenced.
Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council said Nathan Lee, aged 35, and Tarn Price, aged 34, appeared before Wolverhampton Magistrates Court following an investigation by trading standards.
The court heard how Lee, of New Cross Street, Tipton, cold-called the Sedgley pensioner, claiming repair work needed to be undertaken to his roof.
