Two teenagers from Milton are facing charges following a grandparent scam targeting a Pelham resident. 

Niagara police say the victim was contacted by someone pretending to be their nephew, who claimed he had been arrested and needed bail money. 

A courier working for a legitimate delivery company was sent to collect the cash, unknowingly delivering it to the suspects. 

The victim became suspicious after receiving a second request for money and checking with their real nephew. 

A 17-year-old was arrested November 7th, followed by a 16-year-old the next day.
