POLICE in Pocklington are urging people to be aware of bogus and cold callers.
Following a recent incident in the Pocklington area where cold callers unsuccessfully tried charging a couple £600 to cut back trees, the Pocklington and Wolds Weighton neighbourhood policing team are urging people to check who is at the door before opening it, to fit the chain and to keep the back door and windows locked while answering the front door.
Residents should not feel pressured into accepting services and anyone who is concerned about suspicious people and vehicles in the Pocklington area should phone 0845 60 60 222.
