A man aged 92 was duped into paying more than £200 for a box of rocks.

The elderly victim was targeted by a bogus caller at his home in Keary Road, Swanscombe.

A delivery driver called at the man’s property and demanded he pay £205 for a parcel he was delivering.

It was only when he left that the man realised the package was actually full of rocks.
