The Learmonth Street resident handed over money to a man falsely claiming to be a workman last Thursday for work which was never carried out.

Police say the suspect is in his early 20s and has medium length dark hair.

The incident came just a day after householders in Falkirk and Laurieston were duped into parting with cash by a man charged with bogus caller-types offences.
