“Bogus callers”, “doorstep crime” or “distraction burglary” is a crime that a lot of people fear. Follow our advice so that you can spot the signs of whether or not an unexpected caller to your home is genuine.

Crime prevention advice

• Check the identity of the caller by calling the company they say they are from. Don’t use the number they give you to call as this may be a bogus number
• If your service provider has a password scheme, sign up to these. When unannounced callers turn up without the password don’t open the door
• Don’t keep large quantities of cash on the premises
• Keep doors and windows secure at all times
• If you let someone in close the door behind you
• If you have a door chain use it
• Make sure that your back door is locked if you go to answer your front door-thieves can work in pairs and distract you
• If you think that your being targeted by a distraction technique contact the police either on 101 or 999
