Motorists in West Yorkshire have been warned again about a gang aiming to con helpful motorists out of cash.

In December the Examiner reported how apparently stricken motorists had been flagging down drivers claiming to have run out of petrol.

A man who claimed to be German offered drivers at Ainley Top what was described as “cheap jewellery” in exchange for petrol money.

An Eastern European man was also reported on the westbound entry slip road at junction 28 at Tingley.

He was flagging down cars claiming his bank card wouldn’t work and he needed £20 for petrol.

At the time West Yorkshire Police warned people not to be taken in – and only stop on the hard shoulder in a genuine emergency.

Now police have said scammers have been at it again.

On Friday morning a woman passed a broken down car in Wakefield Road, Garforth, and offered to help.

A man standing with the car said he was out of petrol and needed to get to Glasgow.

He offered the woman gold jewellery if she would withdraw £500 from an ATM and give it to him.

She refused.

There were two Asian males involved, one aged around 20 and one believed to be in his 50s.

A police spokesperson said: “If anyone has been a victim of this or can add any further information please telephone 101.”

In unrelated investigations, police would like to speak to the people pictured in the image gallery below.
