Police in Cirencester are appealing for witnesses after offenders tried to intimidate an elderly woman into paying them �800 for cleaning her driveway.
Three men called at the home of the 72 year-old woman in Chesterton Park, Cirencester, between 11.15am and 3.15pm on Thursday February 22.
They offered to demonstrate the effects a pressure washer could have on the woman's drive then, when the demonstration was over, they demanded �800 from the woman in payment.
