A bogus
tradesman has been targeting elderly northside residents, according to a report
in this week’s Northside Chronicle.
The article
quotes Acting Senior Sgt Megan Dwyer as saying that the man asks for cash
upfront to paint roofs and then leaves without returning.
Megan Dwyer
advises that residents should not feel pressured or intimidated into making a
decision on the spot when faced with a tradesman offering to do such work, and
to be wary of handing over cash up front.
The man is
described as aged between 50 and 60 and 175 cm tall with a large build and
short white hair. He has been seen driving a white utility.
