Please be aware that approximately 7:30pm on 21st May a male knocked on the door of an address in Kelvin Road, Cubbington and stated he was Ex Forces and was working for the charity ‘Helping Hands’ and was selling household items.
The male told the resident that if he managed to sell 2 items he would be provided a bed by the charity ‘Helping Hands’, thankfully the resident did not buy any items. The male had a large holdall bag. The resident had sensibly called ‘Helping Hands’ and they stated that they would not ask homeless people to knock on doors and sell items. The charity informed the resident that this was a scam and the police needed to be informed.
If you experience the above do not buy any items from the door step callers and report the incident to the police on 101.
