BOGUS workmen operating in the Culloden area have sparked a police plea for the public to beware.
Officers in Inverness issued the warning and advice following reports of the bogus callers.
Inspector Ali Garrow, from Inverness Community Policing said; “I urge people to treat door to door traders with caution. Should you need any household or gardening work carried out, research local businesses as they will provide a professional service, likely at a lower price.
"Also remain cautious of any companies who will only deal in cash. The vast majority of genuine companies will deal with bank transfers and should there subsequently be any issue, it may be easier for the customers to commence a line of complaint.
"Anyone with any information or concern in relation to bogus workmen in their area is encouraged to contact police.”
You can report incidents to police by calling 101 or via the Police Scotland website.
Anonymous reports can also be made to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
