Okotoks RCMP are urging people to be wary of a sales scam targeting homeowners.

Police received several reports of suspicious activity involving two men offering driveway sealing services.

According to RCMP, the two have been going door-to-door offering to seal driveways for a competitive price. The pair will ask for a certified cheque and spray a driveway with a chemical. They then would not respond to any further calls for service from the homeowners.

The suspects are driving an early 2000s red crew cab pick-up truck with a black tank and pump in the truck bed.

One suspect is described as six-feet-tall, fair skinned and medium build with short curly hair and freckles. The second suspect is described as five-foot-10 inches tall with a medium skin tone, medium build and dark hair. Both men are described as having an English accent.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Okotoks RCMP at 403-995-4202. Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
