AN elderly man has had a large amount of life savings stolen by three fraudsters offering services door to door in Altrincham.

The bogus workmen offer services such as jet washing drives in the area.

The vehicle used by the offenders was a white transit van, with a roof rack and thick orange stripes along the top and bottom of the vehicle.

The men were described as white with Irish accents. The vehicle was in the area between Friday January 13 and Monday January 16.

A spokesperson for GMP Trafford South said: "Please remain vigilant and if you have any information regarding the vehicle or occupants, please contact Altrincham Police on 0161 856 7530 for attention of PC Collier 13775."
