Police have received reports of 2 males knocking on house doors claiming to be from BT and saying they need access to the property immediately to fix a phone line problem. These males do not represent BT, have no ID cards on them and appear to be targeting vulnerable individuals who are living alone.
Please make your loved ones aware and remind them that they do not need to let strangers in to their house. People may claim to be from any number of utility companies or other organisations but the advice is always the same – ask for ID, and if in doubt, call the company which they claim to represent (But don’t call any phone numbers they give you themselves). If you are unsure never let them in and always use a door chain if you have one.
If you have someone trying to gain entry to your property, you can call us on 999, or report any other suspicious sightings on 101 or online here http://socsi.in/sjQRZ Thanks very much for sharing.
