OAP conned out of £800
Detectives are appealing for information after £800 was unlawfully taken from an elderly woman for work carried out on her house in Portsmouth.
This came after two men offered to carry out work in the garden of an 80-year-old woman at Pitcroft Road.
After a price of £200 was agreed for the work, the men took £300, then came back later and demanded another £500.
