DESCRIPTIONS have been issued of two men who conned an elderly woman out of £1,000.
The men posed as bailiffs working for the district council when they called at the woman’s home in a village near Blandford at 12.45pm on Friday.
One man in his mid-40s, 5ft 6in tall, clean shaven with light brown short hair, knocked at the woman’s door and told her she owed £1,000 in council tax arrears.
He then drove her in a silver car with four doors to a bank in Blandford to withdraw the cash.
A second man who travelled with them was clean-shaven, in his mid-30s and wearing a dark jacket.
