POLICE are warning residents to remain vigilant after a woman in Bromsgrove was scammed out of £1,000.

They took £1,000 from the lady but did not finish the work.
The incident happened on Friday, June 14.
A police spokesman described the rouge traders as three white males and asked anyone who may have any information or who may have been in the area at the time to get in touch quoting 178s250619.
