Bogus Callers
Description
Beware the knock on the door! Posing as council officials, builders, even policemen, burglars are tricking their way into the homes of the elderly and vulnerable. Some lose their life savings, others just a few notes, but all are tormented and often shattered by their ordeal. Now West Yorkshire Police are using hidden cameras to trap the Bogus Men.
