NOTTINGHAM KNOCKERS IN HILDERSTONE

🚨 SMART ALERT - NOTTINGHAM KNOCKERS IN HILDERSTONE 🚨

Staffordshire Police have received reports of individuals commonly referred to as "Nottingham Knockers" operating in the Hilderstone area.

These individuals often go door-to-door selling household items such as cleaning products and may use high-pressure sales tactics. While not everyone conducting doorstep sales is acting unlawfully, some offenders use this method to identify vulnerable residents or gather information about properties. 🏠

✅ Safety Advice

🔒 Keep your front and back doors locked, even when you are at home.

👀 Use a door viewer, window, or video doorbell to see who is calling before opening the door.

🚫 Do not feel pressured into buying anything on your doorstep.

💳 Never hand over bank cards, PIN numbers, or personal financial information to callers.

🗣️ If you are interested in purchasing an item, take time to consider it and discuss it with a trusted friend or family member first.

📞 If you feel intimidated or concerned by a caller's behaviour, contact Staffordshire Police via 101.

👵 Please check in on elderly or vulnerable neighbours and relatives who may be more susceptible to doorstep callers.

🚔 If you witness suspicious behaviour, individuals looking into properties, or believe a crime is taking place, call 999 immediately.

🤝 By remaining vigilant and sharing information within our communities, we can help protect vulnerable residents and reduce opportunities for crime.
