A former Nuneaton rogue roofer has been forced to pay out more than £100,000 to locals he ripped off. Darren Bullaman, who used to live in Hill Top, scammed four Nuneaton and Leamington Spa residents.

In one case a Nuneaton resident who called Lee out to look at a leaky gutter ended up paying him over £43,000. Back in 2024, he was sentenced to a two-and-a-half-years imprisonment and handed a eight year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) and an eight year director disqualification order.
