Two men have appeared before magistrates in connection with alleged incidents of bogus officials in the Oxenhope area.

Jason Pilkington, 36, of Thames Avenue, Burnley, and Stuart Leeming, 28, of Smith Street, Nelson, have been charged with fraud by false representation.

Pilkington appeared before Bradford Magistrates Court on Tuesday and Leeming went before Bingley Magistrates Court last month. The men have been charged in connection with incidents last September when it is alleged they carried out roofing work to properties where elderly people lived.
