Police investigation underway in Perth following bogus workman incident
A 91-year-old woman was left out of pocket after she was robbed of a three-figure sum of money in Perth.
Some time between 1st and 10th April, a man turned up at her Crieff Road property, offering gardening services.
Cash was handed over and the man said he would return later to finish the work.
He's described as being 5' 9" tall, with short dark hair and of average build.
Days later, another man turned up at the address demanding more money for the work but none was exchanged.
Police describe it as 'despicable' crime are keen to speak to the two men in connection.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: "This is a despicable crime targeting an elderly person in their own home and we would urge anyone with any information that may be useful should contact Tayside Division on 101 quoting reference number CR/9281/17, or any police officer.
"Alternatively information can be passed anonymously via the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111".
