NASHUA, NH (AP) -- Police say an 18-year-old man has stolen $7,500 from two elderly Nashua, NH, residents, deceiving them with a driveway paving scam. Police say they are searching for Joseph Stanley on a felony theft charge, The Telegraph reported. Police say not only did Stanley trick the residents, but he performed shoddy work on their driveways, including paving a 94-year-old woman's garage door shut. An 84-year-old man was targeted at his home on June 23. Police say Stanley told the man that his work crew had extra asphalt and they could repair potholes in the driveway, even though the man ageed to only pothole repair for $100. But police said Stanley and his crew paved the entire driveway, and demanded $4,500 immediately, eventually driving the man to a bank. ------ Information from: The Telegraph, http://www.nashuatelegraph.com (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press.
