Summary

Grant Peters, a rogue builder from Dalkeith, scammed Midlothian families out of thousands between 2020 and 2021. He took cash for home jobs but only delivered half, leaving victims with unfinished work and empty pockets. Peters faced four charges at Edinburgh Sheriff Court for his scams and stolen building materials, and all charges stuck when he pleaded guilty.
