Akron Police are looking for a group of men allegedly offering  a bogus tree cutting service.

The APD is saying these men are targeting the elderly, charging $450 for cutting tree branches, but they don't complete the job.

Within the last few days on LaBelle Aveune on the city's west side, an elderly woman was approached by a group of men offering the tree service.

Police say the men start cutting the branches and leave a mess in the victim's yard before leaving.

The suspects are described as five white men driving around the west side of Akron in a red mini-van with a sign for "Mighty Tree Service."

If anyone sees these men or their vehicle, call the Akron Police Department Detective Bureau.
