How to beat the bogus caller leaflet

Dear Resident,

We have been conducting House to House enquiries in the area, after reports of Burglars purporting to be Workmen have been committing offences in your area.  The offenders are very convincing. If you have not requested someone to visit your address regarding work that needs carrying out, please do not engage with them or be tricked into paying them for work you don’t need.

If you have any CCTV or information that could assist with the prompt arrest of the person(s) responsible for these crimes please contact Greater Manchester Police on 101 and ask to speak to the Shaw/Crompton neighbourhood team.

Please be vigilant. Keep a look out for suspicious vehicles.  If you notice a Red van with roof ladders on bearing the sign, “Rossendale Roofing Services” phone 101.

If you would like to talk to your Neighbourhood Officers, or have any questions please ring 0161 856 8825 or e-mail with your details and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Oldham Borough Policing Team.
