Peterborough police are continuing to investigate after a Lakefield business owner lost $15,000 last Thursday (May 11) when contractors hired to repave a parking lot did not complete the work.
Since then, police have been made aware of two more incidents believed to be the same group of people, who offer to do driveway and pavement repairs.
The sales technique is aggressive and both residents and businesses have been approached. The work has been unsolicited and has sometimes begun before an agreement has been reached.
Two suspects in the originally reported Lakefield incident both had Irish accents.
Police have released photos of the suspects and the vehicles used in the incidents.
Anyone with information is asked to call Peterborough police at 705-876-1122 x555 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at stopcrimehere.ca.
