Door to Door Cold Callers Holdingham

I received this message yesterday. There have been callers of this nature within Holdingham over the last week or so!

Message from Lincolnshire Police  Community Safety Department: Monday 09/07/12.

"Please be aware that we have seen an increase in the number of door to door “duster salesmen” across the county. They often operate illegally without the appropriate pedlars certificates and are opportunist thieves.

If you can, check who it is at your door before opening it. If you don’t know them don’t open the door. We would advise that you do not engage in conversation with them and certainly do not buy anything from them. Despite what they say they are not reformed criminals working for probation, they are active criminals and will enter your home and steal what they can given the smallest chance.
If you have any elderly / vulnerable neighbours please speak with them and help us to keep them safe.
Please report any incidents or suspicious person(s) immediately to Lincolnshire Police Force Control Room, Tel 101.
Thank you."

I hope this is of help!!
