Good evening,

We have received a report of rogue traders operating in Greens Norton on Tuesday 29th October. They were in the village between 1100am and midday and were in a white Ford Transit van, no registration obtained. It's unknown if it was sign written with anything but it had ladders on top. There were 3 white males in the vehicle, photos of which will be released on the Force Facebook page in due course.

Male 1 was wearing a black baseball cap, grey hoodie, khaki green shorts and was unshaven with grey hair. He had a Welsh accent and was a stocky build, around 5'9" tall and aged 35-45 years.

Male 2 was wearing a black NYPD beanie hat, dark grey gilet with black hoodie and black trousers. He had a greying beard, was a chubby build and around 5'9" tall, aged 40-50 years.

Male 3 was wearing a black Adidas hoodie, blue jeans. He had dark hair, was clean shaven and around 5'8"-5'10" tall, chubby build and aged around 18-25 years.

They attended an elderly male's home and offered to clean out his gutters. Video doorbell footage showed that they did not complete any work before accepting payment.

If you saw the men described or their vehicle, or have any cctv footage of anyone matching these descriptions, please contact us quoting occurrence number 24000660602.

Please do not accept work from cold callers at your door and encourage elderly neighbours/relatives not to do so.

Age UK and Citizens Advice can provide details of trusted companies. 

Many thanks
