Residents in Mapperley are being urged to be wary after police received reports of a bogus tree surgeon operating in the area over the past few days.
The trader is looking for work and is claiming that people’s trees require work to be undertaken when in fact they do not.
Police currently have no confirmed details of the vehicle being used but the males involved are described as follows.
- A white male, around 40 years of age, being 5’6 – 5’7 tall, stout build, having short black hair and a designer type stubble beard. The male spoke with a liverpudlian accent. At the time of the incident he was wearing tan workers trousers, workers boots and a material type jacket.
- A white male, 30 – 35 years of age, being of average build, clean shaven and having dark hair. The male was wearing similar clothing to male 1.
- A white male, around 18 years of age, fresh faced and having medium length dark hair. The male was also wearing similar clothing to male 1.
A police spokesman said: “We reminder you to please be cautious when looking for and accepting work from persons who attend you property without first being invited by you.
