Police warning over bogus workmen in Inverness

BOGUS workmen are operating in the Inverness area, police have warned.

Officers have urged residents to beware cold callers after a spate of reports in Kinmylies where people were offered garden services and household goods for sale.

Constable Allan Cameron, who is leading the investigation, said: "Please be mindful of people cold calling you and offering services, goods or household items for sale.

"If the price appears too good to be true this is likely for good reason.

"Any work carried out by such individuals may prove to be substandard, goods may not meet safety requirements or may even prove to be stolen.

"As always, I would appeal for anyone with information about bogus workmen or suspicious people to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting reference NN4916/18, or via the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 if you would prefer to remain anonymous."
