Cambridgeshire Police have had reports of door-to-door sellers visiting homes in the area.
They are often nicknamed ‘Nottingham Knockers’ and the scam involves people claiming to have recently been released from prison and are selling goods to help them raise funds and mend their ways.
However, this is not part of any officially-recognised offender rehabilitation programme.
Residents are being urged to remain cautious and report any suspicious behaviour to police. If a crime is taking place call 999 otherwise report online or call 101.
Kind Regards,
Detective Sergeant Jonathan Lockwood
