Man, 24, charged with bogus workmen incidents in Clydebank as police hunt two others

A man has been arrested and charged in connection with bogus workmen incident in Clydebank.

The 24-year-old is due to appear at court while attempts to identify two other men involved are ongoing.

The man has been charged in relation to incidents in the Freelands Crescent in Old Kilpatrick between Monday, August 3 and Thursday, August 6.

He is expected to appear at Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Monday.

The other men are both described as white. The first was wearing a black zipped hooded top, grey t-shirt, black cargo trousers with grey patches, beige shoes and a white face mask.

The second man was wearing a dark blue gilet, grey t-shirt, black cargo trousers with grey patches, beige shoes and a white face mask.

The public are being urged to be vigilant against bogus callers - especially elderly and vulnerable residents.



Detective Constable Imran Abuzar, of Clydebank CID, said: "Elderly and vulnerable people are usually targeted in these types of incident.

"I would urge all members of the public to remain vigilant and only get work done from approved or trusted tradesmen and challenge anyone who does not have the necessary credentials. Alternatively you can call police or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111"

"You can call police on 101, using reference 1019 of 7 August, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
