Bogus workmen in Craigton Road
Two men in a grey saloon-type car with two or three sets of ladders on the roof stopped outside the house and told the man that his roof needed repaired.
The men were given a three-figure sum of money and car drove off without completing any work.
The first suspect is described as around 40-years-old, average build with short dark hair and a Scottish accent. He was wearing dark clothing.
The second suspect is described as older, bald and a larger build.
Police Scotland are appealing to anyone who has seen suspicious behaviour involving the description of the car or suspects to contact us.

Key signs to look out for are random requests to carry out unplanned work where there is an immediate demand for cash. Always ask for identification and don’t be pressurised into making a decision.”
