Batley pensioner defrauded over £3,000

    Police in Batley are warning residents of bogus workmen following a report of an elderly lady being defrauded of over £3,000.

    The incident happened on 1 October, where the victim, a lady in her 80s, was approached by two men who asked if she needed work doing on the roof of her house.

    They requested £3,720 from the victim, which was paid but no work had been carried out at the property on Bromley Road, Batley.

    One man stated he lived in Soothill and the other told the victim he worked from home in Bradford.
