POLICE have received concerning reports about a small team of driveway and patio cleaners who have been cold calling residents in Firsdown, Laverstock and Alderbury.

The team is described as using “assertive yet courteous” sales tactics to secure work, however, their services tend to be priced exorbitantly, often amounting to approximately £500 for a minimal amount of cleaning.

Salisbury Police strongly advise against entertaining any door-to-door trade sales and encourage community members to look out for elderly neighbours and family members.

People are asked to report any concerning incidents online via www.wiltshire.police.uk or by emailing SalisburyAreaNPT@wiltshire.police.uk

Call 999 if you see a crime happening.
