Episodes
Episode 1
Tonight, reporter Conor Woodman hits the road with trading standards officers to see first-hand the methods doorstep conmen use to rob the elderly and vulnerable of their money.
Out on patrol officers spot a familiar face, who is arrested for carrying out gardening work without the right paperwork. During his arrest he issues a chilling threat and trading standards officer Martin Woodley says: "I don't know if you noticed when they were saying, ‘We know where you live.' Being threatened is just part of the job."
They become embroiled in a pursuit as a suspected conman attempts to escape their clutches in his van.
Episode 2
This time, Conor joins Surrey trading standards officers for an early morning raid on the home of a suspected conman who has allegedly been grooming a vulnerable man in his 60s. As well as finding the suspect, the team turns up a large amount of cash in £50 notes. On patrol with the team, officer Raith Bennett says he's usually able to spot scammers when he sees them: "Most people who've got a couple of years of enforcement under your belt, will develop a kind of sixth sense if you like and that can identify that something's wrong."
