Langhorne Creek residents are among those being warned about a recurring bitumen scam across South Australia.
Police say people have been door knocking and claiming to have leftover bitumen from another job, offering to repair driveways at a reduced price.
Those involved often use trucks, trailers and equipment that appear legitimate, making it difficult to identify them as scammers.
Customers can end up with poor-quality work and a much higher bill, with Hills Fleurieu Police urging people to get written quotes and check contractors’ credentials.
Anyone who has been approached by people offering suspicious driveway, paving or bitumen work should report the matter to police on 131 444 or via Crime Stoppers online at www.crimestopperssa.com.au or by calling 1800 333 000.
