Cowboy builders film themselves boasting about ripping off 82-year-old victim
A group of young cowboy builders filmed themselves “bodging” a job while mocking their elderly customer.
Phone footage shows Matty Rossiter, 18, James Rossiter, 25, and Dean Smith, 21, bragging about ripping off a victim who they say is ‘’really old’’.
They can be seen on the roof demanding “quite a lot of money” for their services from John Bray, 82.
The group charged him over £8,000 - and just replaced a few tiles.
From crimes committed in 18 properties across Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Bristol between October 2020 and March 2021, they made £45,000.
The three workers have since been jailed.
