Good Afternoon, Ramsey District Members –

Whytefield Road, Ramsey – Police received a report of an incident that aroused suspicion that happened on Whytefield Road on Saturday evening, 8th August, in which two males driving a silver Transit van, or similar, were approaching persons in the street and asking if they wanted to buy diving equipment, including wetsuits and possibly also marine flares. The males reportedly were wearing old-fashioned top-hats. (Ref CC-08082020-0493)

And Finally… Rogue Traders and Cold Callers

Rogue traders are operating in the area again. One report from St Ives described a man knocking on doors and pointing out ‘faults’ with properties, ranging from guttering issues to loose tiles, and offering to fix them.

Remember – stay alert and always ask to see someone’s identification. Don’t feel pressured into agreeing to having work done immediately – if a tradesperson is genuine, they won’t mind leaving a quote for you to contact them later.
