A CRIME prevention charity is urging residents to remain vigilant following reports of bogus tradesmen.
An elderly woman in Sychdyn was targeted on February 14 by fraudsters offering to clean her gutters.
A spokesman for Owl Cymru said: "Did anyone attend your address in the area between 10am-12pm offering gutter cleaning?
"If so, please contact police via calling 101. Quote OWL Cymru/fraud alert
"Watch over older relatives and neighbours and help prevent these type of crimes. Report suspicious activities."
Owl Cymru is a crime prevention charity and is offering Doorstep Crime packs in a bid to better prepare residents when approached at their homes.
