West Midlands Police Seeks Man in Elders' Scam

0:00On March 29th, West Midlands Police just released a photo of a man they're trying to track down after he targeted a woman in her 80s with A. Distraction scam near Birmingham. Around 3pm on February 4th, the guy showed up on Malcolm Road insurely, claiming he done some gardening work for her and demanding payment. Bright then. She told him she had no memory of hiring anyone, but he pushed anyway, which is classic for these sneaky distraction burglaries that prey on seniors. Officers have dug into CCTV footage and run other checks, but they still can't put a name to the face, so they're turning to the public for help. If you've seen him or know anything, reach out via live chat on their site or call 101 with crime reference 2000 slash 174. 7-2 slash 26. Let's keep our elders safe out there.
