Police arrest two men in connection with Polmont bogus workers offences

One of the incidents occurred between Thursday, October 22 and Tuesday, October 27 at an address in Tiree Crescent, Polmont.

The victim agreed for works to be carried out on his property – including paving and fence repairs. However, the two men did a shoddy job at best before taking the victim to the bank to get his money.

The original price quoted increased and eventually ran into several thousands of pounds and the standard of the unfinished work was extremely poor.

The men then took the elderly resident to a bank to withdraw large sums of cash. However, banking staff contacted police and there was no further financial harm done.

Two men aged 39 and 41 have now been arrested and charged in connection with the incidents and have since appeared at Falkirk Sheriff Court.
