Kennett Square police are cautioning people to be aware of possible “gypsy” scams following several reports of an individual loitering around backyards but departing when he saw security cameras or being questioned by a homeowner. The individual asked the homeowner whether he needed any driveway repair. While there have been no reports of fraud or scams, police said the person’s actions are consistent with those of scammers.
