Be extra vigilant and keep an eye on elderly neighbours.

Many legitimate businesses sell products door-to-door; gas, electricity and water companies need to visit to read your meters; and charities will often call seeking donations.

But fraudsters may also knock on your door to part you from your money, or get into your home to steal from you.

Don't feel pressured into handing over money. Please report to 101 or via our Cheshire Police website if you have any concerns or would like to report suspicious activity. 999 in an emergency.
