HAMPSHIRE Constabulary’s Country Watch team has received reports relating to a roadside scam.

Motorists area have been flagged down by men who claim their car has broken down.

The men either asked the victims for cash so that they can buy fuel, or offer jewellery or watches in exchange for cash. Police are warning that the jewellery they produce is virtually worthless gold-coloured or polished metal.

Anyone with information should call the police on 101 or, in an emergency, 999, and provide car registration and descriptions of those involved, if possible.
