Hughes Springs Police Chief Randy Kennedy advises area residents to beware of asphalt paver scams in the area.
 
“There have been con artist asphalt pavers in the area, driving new vehicles,” Chief Kennedy said. “They will come up with the excuse they have been doing a construction job down the road and have asphalt left over. They want to put it in your driveway and after they begin paving the drive, they charge the individual several thousand dollars for the work done. If the individual refuses to pay, they threaten a lawsuit.
 
“Most of them are men and are driving new trucks.”
 
Chief Kennedy said he believed the pavers are from Texarkana, Ark.
