Police have received reports this week of men attending at addresses in the capital offering to sell items.
They’ve been described as being aged 25 – 40 years with Middlesbrough accents.
Officers are reminding the public to be vigilant, don’t be afraid to say ‘no thanks’ & report anything suspicious to police.
Here are some more tips:
• Keep the caller out of your house.
• You might also want to try to alert a family member or attract a neighbour’s attention.
• Note down their description and the description of any vehicle they’re using, including make, model, colour and registration number.
