A man has been asking for money to clean people's gardens in Telford – before taking the cash and leaving the area a mess.

The young man called at house in Dothill, Wellington, yesterday offering to tidy up the garden for £80.

The homeowner handed over the cash but the bogus gardener left before the job was finished.

Police are looking for the man, who has also been targeting houses in the Shawbirch area this week.

Officers have asked that anyone with information should call police on 101.
