Rogue Trader

Posted on 4th March, 2016

AN0084 04032016 Rogue Trader

 

Concern has been expressed locally regarding an unsolicited caller who is distributing leaflets in the area. The leaflet is asking about purchasing items from householders. The only telephone number listed on the sheet is a mobile number. Whilst it is not clear whether this person/company is committing any offences, there is concern over the `hard sell' tactics that are being employed when calling door to door.

 

Police would like to know if you or your neighbours have had any such leaflets delivered, and particularly any follow-up calls at the door. Please forward your details through the police on 101, or via the website or indeed through your local beat officers.

 

Also please take a little time to look out for any vulnerable residents who may be subject of such callers. If there are unknown callers that appear suspicious, or indeed a van removing items from premises then please call this immediately to the police but use the 999 system.

 

More details can be obtained via your Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator
