🚨 TARMAC SCAMS 🚨
We’re seeing reports of people going door-to-door offering to lay tarmac or carry out work at a “cheap price” because they “happen to be in the area" or "have left over tarmac from a previous job in the area".
In many cases this leads to:
⚠️ Prices suddenly increasing by thousands of pounds
⚠️ Property or valuables being taken
⚠️ Intimidation or threats
⚠️ Poor or unfinished work
If it sounds too good to be true — it usually is.
Before agreeing to any work:
✅ Check ID and company details
✅ Get written quotes
✅ Don’t be pressured into quick decisions
✅ Never hand over cash upfront
If you’re approached and feel something isn’t right:
🚗 If safe to do so, note vehicle registrations and descriptions
📞 Report on 101, or 999 if you feel threatened or in immediate danger

🏠 Landowners, farmers, businesses and homeowners — please stay alert👀
