Dear Resident

Just to inform you that there has been a report of a distraction burglary on the  Marton ward, (Kipling Drive area).

The brief circumstances are as follows-

Sometime after 09:30 hrs on Friday 19th April, 2 people posing as carers attended an address of a vulnerable elderly person.

They managed to gain access to the address, at which point they stole bank cards etc.

We have also had a recent unconnected report on  Clifton ward of people knocking on peoples doors, on the pretext of cleaning gutters, again a vulnerable elderly person was talked in to handing over a substantial amount of money upfront, without any work being carried out.

In light of the above incidents, Please could I ask you to keep an eye out on any vulnerable neighbours, or if you have any vulnerable family members, to remind them to be careful , of any unexpected visitors at their front door.

Thanks 

Andy
