POLICE have arrested four people after a gang of rogue traders conned elderly and vulnerable Hampshire residents into handing over cash for unnecessary gardening work.
Pensioners were among the people targeted by the conmen, who forced people to spend excessive amounts of money on work that was often completely unnecessary.
The four men, who are aged 24, 39, 42 and 46 and are all from the wider Romsey area, were arrested on Tuesday by officers from Southampton CID on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud.
