POLICE are warning Elderslie householders to be on their guard for bogus workmen.
On Saturday, March 11 a resident reported a man who he had employed to complete work on his patio.
He was unhappy with the standard of the work that had been carried out which he paid over £3,000 for.
Officers are urging residents to avoid getting work done by those who come to their doorstep unannounced.
Chief inspector Simon Wright said: “We are currently investigating an incident in Elderslie.
“We recommend that residents seek advice or recommendations from friends or family to complete work so that it is carried to a suitable standard.
“If anyone suspects a bogus workman coming to their door, please contact police on 101.”
