Nottinghamshire Police are currently on the hunt for two suspicious traders seen knocking on doors in the Carlton Hill area.
Police received a call from a concerned resident regarding two males who have been knocking on doors in the area asking if the residents require any work doing to their addresses.
They have been seen in the area this afternoon. They are in a white Ford Transit type van and one of them is described as having a mild Irish accent. Officers are searching the area for these men and are keen to ensure that they are genuine.
Neighbourhood inspector Andrew Berryman offered the following advice to residents if traders do call round without a prior appointment.
He said: “Please ensure that you do not let unknown people into your address and do not be pressured into having work completed that you do not want or need. If you do want work completed, ensure that a price is agreed beforehand, and that the work is completed to your satisfaction prior to payment being made.
“Also ensure that you secure your address and lock your doors, even when at home.”
Please contact Nottinghamshire Police with any further information regarding these males by calling 101 and referring to incident 373-06102015.
