Southport pensioners are being warned to be vigilant after a fresh spate of burglaries.
Over the past few weeks, there have been burglaries at Southport addresses includ- ing Upper Aughton Road, Eastbourne Road, a garage on Westcliffe Road, Scarisbrick Street and Cleveleys Road in the town.
A spokesperson for the Local Community Policing Team warned of a suspicious cold caller who had called at a home in Ainsdale.
They said: “A white man around 5’8” in height, approximately 30 years of age,
wearing a blue/green jacket and trousers called at a house in Ainsdale.
“He asked the occupant if he could come inside the property to do a free survey on the locks and windows, as there had been a lot of burglaries in the area.
“Please be aware of cold callers who may be in your area and ask to come into your property, don’t be afraid to refuse them entry.”
