Silk Hope, NC – The Chatham County Sheriff’s Office has received multiple reports in recent days about an asphalt resurfacing scam targeting residents on the west side of the county.
Between August 19 and August 20, three calls were reported in the Silk Hope area, along NC 902 toward Bennett, and on Sunset Hill Road. In each instance, a man approached homeowners and offered to asphalt their driveways, claiming he had leftover asphalt from a paving project on U.S. 64 and could do the work at a reduced price.
The suspect is described as a white male in his 30s to 40s, balding, and has been seen driving a full-size black or dark blue Chevrolet 2500 pickup truck with a flashing light mounted on the front. In one incident on NC 902, a second man was also present. Both were described as white males traveling in the same vehicle.
No residents have yet reported losing money or property to the scam. Deputies have obtained photos of the suspect and vehicle from one of the calls and are continuing to investigate…
