DESCRIPTION TO FOLLOW:
This morning at 1130hrs a male has been calling door to door in Stoford, Yeovil with what was described as a 'dodgy' looking pedlars certificate.
Although this has happened near Yeovil it could be the start of a coverage in this area.
He is a w/m, 25-30 years of age, short dark hair, 5'10" tall. He was wearing a black jacket and blue jeans and was carrying a large black bag. He showed a yellow piece of paper to our informant which was covered in sellotape - it is not clear if this was a genuine pedlars certificate or not.
The Police advice is only to deal with known callers at the door and to report all suspicious callers to them using the 0845 456 7000 number or dial 999 if necessary.
WHEN REPORTING INFORMATION PLEASE QUOTE THE ABOVE REFERENCE NUMBER. PLEASE ASK FOR THE CALL TO BE TAGGED NHW
