The men had trimmed a hedge at the victim’s house on Monday, August 27 and an appeal has been launched to see if they’ve offered to do work at any other homes.
A spokesman for Lincolnshire Police, said: “We believe the two men in the images can help with our investigation into a fraud.
“On Monday August 27 two men offered landscaping services to an elderly resident in the village of Moulton. They finished trimming a hedge at the residents house and then offered to do some more work.

“We are appealing to anyone who was in the Molton area who may have been approached for similar work and also anyone who has information that can help our enquiry.
“We would in particular like to identify the two people in the images who we think will be able to assist the investigating officer.”
