Local Officers have conducted reassurance patrols to highlight concerns of Rogue Traders currently active in the Beacon Park and Peverell areas. This was following a call from a member of public about their concerns over recent involvement with a Rogue Trader in Peverell. Fortunately in this instance early intervention from a concerned neighbour of this victim, minimised the impact to them and pertinent agencies informed. 

We appeal to the local community to be vigilant over this and are aware of recent social media posts, highlighting certain vehicles with people offering their services. We would ask that you look out for your older neighbours, who are potentially more vulnerable and targeting by these unscrupulous people. 

If it doesn’t look or feel right report it to 101. Advice can be sought from Trading Standards - Devon, Plymouth, Somerset and Torbay 01752 304147 and if fraudulent activity has taken place report to ACTION FRAUD Action Fraud 0300 123 2040.
