Scam alert


A male has been going door to door trying to buy jewellery from residents in the Dursley area. He will post a leaflet through the door offering money for jewellery and will return later on in the day asking to buy jewellery. If you do not wish to sell jewellery he will ask for his leaflet back. If you do not wish to sell jewellery leave the leaflet outside and do not feel you need to open the door to him. If you feel intimidated by the male then please call us.

Please help us raise awareness of this by informing your elderly or vulnerable relatives, friends and neighbours.

You can find plenty of crime prevention advice on our website: https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/

Please note, we're unable to accept reports of crime through Your Neighbourhood Alerts. You can report non-emergency crime online here. Always call 999 in an emergency.
