POLICE are warning home owners in the Barnton area to be aware of bogus callers claiming to be carrying out roofing work on behalf of Cheshire West and Chester Council.

In the latest incident, a resident in Grange Road was targeted by the fraudsters, who have no affiliations to the council, and whom police believe are from the Runcorn area.

Anyone who suspects they have been visited by a bogus caller should call police on the non-emergency number 101.
