POLICE have warned people to be on the alert after a man delivering leaflets attempted to get into an elderly woman’s home today.
Royal Wootton Bassett police said: “Thankfully she did not let him in, declining his offer to buy jewellery from her.”
They believed rogue traders could be targeting elderly people in the area. “We have checked the information from the leaflets, on the internet and believe this to be some kind of scam.”
Anyone with information can call 101, or in an emergency dial 999.
