Police are urging local businesses to ignore the opportunity to purchase advertising space in what’s being described as being a ‘police’ related publication.

People are being told never to disclose financial information during a ‘cold call’ telephone conversation, on the off chance it is a scam.
Crime reduction officer Mike Radcliffe says this type of scheme has cropped up numerous times of late:
