DEERFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The Deerfield Police Department are warning residents of crews selling extra pavement.

The police say paving crews are scamming residents by going to houses selling extra pavement for a great price. The crew will put down the paving so thin that it falls apart in a year. According to the Deerfield police, they do not do proper preparation work or use best practices.
