A MAN has reportedly scammed a number of women in the county out of goods sold online.

One victim has now issued a warning after the man made off with a £800 laptop without paying.

The man has reportedly targeted a number of mums with young children across the county and further afield.

One victim, from Sileby, fell victim on Monday after she advertised an Apple MacBook on Facebook Marketplace.

She was alone with her one-year-old daughter when he arrived to inspect the laptop before agreeing to buy it.
