🚨 TARMAC SCAMS 🚨

Glossop SNT - TARMAC SCAMS

We’re seeing reports in Derbsyhire of people going door-to-door offering to lay tarmac or carry out work at a “cheap price” because they “happen to be in the area" or "have left over tarmac from a previous job in the area".

In many cases this leads to:
⚠️ Prices suddenly increasing by thousands of pounds
⚠️ Property or valuables being taken
⚠️ Intimidation or threats
⚠️ Poor or unfinished work

If it sounds too good to be true — it usually is.

Before agreeing to any work:
✅ Check ID and company details
✅ Get written quotes
✅ Don’t be pressured into quick decisions
✅ Never hand over cash upfront

If you’re approached and feel something isn’t right:
🚗 If safe to do so, note vehicle registrations and descriptions
📞 Report on 101, or 999 if you feel threatened or in immediate danger
💻 Or report online via ➡️  www.derbyshire.police.uk  > report a crime 
🏠 Landowners, farmers, businesses and homeowners — please stay alert👀
