oddsandends Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Just been told there are four or five travellers in Shetland looking to do roof work and any other odd jobs. They apparently give a cheap quote, do the work then demand a lot more money than quoted. Once the work is complete they escort you to the bank to get the catch. Spread the word!

mikeyboy Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Has this actually happened or is it just a rumour?If it has happened why are the police not involved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildred Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Does anyone know if the police are aware of these criminals, this happened a good few years ago sadly the older vunreable people in the community are often the targets of these criminals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHUCK NORR1S Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Who is moaning? That's what I thought. Sounds like a police job to me if this is what has happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Coo, my bank is down south - wonder if they'd pay for me to go on the ferry with my car Hey, send them here, my bank is in Lerwick. On a serious note though oddsandends, how does your teller of news know they were travellers and what did the police say when they reported them?

shetlandpeat Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 As I said, you cannot arrest someone for being a traveller. I worry now that you are collecting pictures of mens herses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
