| Convincing Con Woman Returns To Chiswick | |||
With 'tragic' tale of how her family has been involved in a car accident
She's clearly not local or the con woman that is still trying to dupe innocent residents into giving her money so she can be reunited with her parents / husband / child would have known that most of Chiswick is onto her. According to the most reports, the woman, who appears to be in her early to mid thirties, articulate, well dressed and of Indian origin, was spotted on the Glebe Estate. Although her story varies slightly, her modus operandi follows the pattern of stopping a stranger in the street, telling them that a member of her family has been involved in a road accident and that she needs money to get to the hospital. Safer Neighbourhoods Officer Ben Clark told ChiswickW4.com, "We have had officers out in plain clothes trying to see if we can catch her, but without success so far - we will keep trying. If you do see her, dial 999 - we will always be happy to help her out and take her to the hospital if she is genuine. We can also help take her to some alternative accommodation at the police station if she isn't!
