An update from the Ruskington and Billinghay
Neighbourhood Policing Team.
Bogus Callers
Most people who call at your home will be genuine. But sometimes, people turn up unannounced with the intention of tricking their way into peoples homes. They are known as "distraction burglars" or "bogus callers" whose only aim is to get into peoples homes to distract people and steal their money or valuables. You should always be aware when someone you don't know calls at your door.
Bogus callers may be smartly dressed and claim to be from the council, the police, health organisations or gas, water or electricity companies. They can be convincing and persuasive. They may be men, women or even children. They may ask for a drink of water or to wash their hands. Some may be looking for a lost pet. People will use any story to gain entry to a house.
They often use props like an identity card or wear overalls with a company logo. If you are expecting the caller, remember to check their identity very carefully against the letter you have been sent or the password you have agreed before you let them in.
If you are in any doubt, keep them out!!!
How to beat the bogus caller booklets are available from the Ruskington Police Office. Anyone who wants a booklet can contact PCSO 2244 Amy Michie on 01526 832222 or 07825100394.
