🚨 Smart Alert: Cold Callers in Prospect Village 🚨

🚨 Smart Alert: Cold Callers in Prospect Village 🚨

Good afternoon,

We’ve received reports of cold callers operating in the Prospect Village area. These individuals were seen going door-to-door during the afternoon, and their intentions are currently unknown. While not all cold callers are criminals, this behaviour can sometimes be linked to scams or doorstep crime.

🔒 Crime Prevention Advice:

Do not open the door to strangers unless you are sure of their identity.

Use a door chain or spyhole to check who is outside before opening.

Ask for ID and verify it independently if someone claims to be from a company or organisation.

Never share personal or financial information with unsolicited visitors.

📞 What You Should Do:

If you saw these individuals or were approached, please report it via 101 or online at the Staffordshire Police website.

If you feel threatened or unsafe, call 999.

Share this alert with neighbours, especially those who may be more vulnerable.

Let’s work together to keep Prospect Village safe. If you have CCTV or doorbell footage from yesterday afternoon in the ealry afternoon, it may assist in identifying these individuals.

Thanks
