Waterloo Road - female knocking on doors

Good afternoon,

Last Monday, we received multiple reports from Waterloo Road, of a female knocking on doors demanding food and money pretending to look for her grandad. 

She managed to gain entry to a vulnerable gentleman's address, and was difficult to escort out of the property.

The female has been identified and we are in contact with the council to issue her with a CPNW, which will prohibit her from entering the area of Waterloo Road, and prohibit her from knocking on doors demanding food/money.

If you see this female knocking on doors again, please report it at the time. Also, please keep an eye out for your neighbours who may be elderly/vulnerable, and may invite her in/feel unable to tell her no.

Thank you 

Burnley NPT
