Elderly man conned with his own computer
A 93-year-old man has been conned out of thousands of pounds by “brazen” thieves using his own computer.
The incident happened in the Nunholm area of Dumfries at about 8am on Tuesday.
Two men claiming to be tradesmen gained access to the house and persuaded their elderly victim to give them access to his computer. They subsequently used it to transfer a five-figure sum out of his bank account.
The men have been described as white, about 5ft 8in tall and of medium build.
