In mid-July a man went to an elderly woman's home in Broadway, Peterborough , claiming he had completed roofing work on her property. He said he was owed £60.
The victim, who is in her 80s, handed over the money. At about 8am on Monday, July 22, the man returned, forcefully saying he needed another £70 to re-do the work. The victim again gave him the money.
It isn't believed any work ever took place.
