Worksop: Brave passer-by stops frail pensioner being conned on her doorstep

A concerned passer-by is believed to have stopped a frail pensioner from being conned by suspected cold callers in Worksop on Tuesday afternoon.

Lyn Bainbridge, 66, of Creswell Road, Clowne, was returning to her car around 1pm on 15th July when she overheard two men talking to a elderly woman, believed to be in her 80s, on her doorstep in Bridge Place.

“I saw two men approach the house next door but she shut the door on them,” Lyn said.

“They then approached the property of this lady as I was just getting in my car.”
