Residents in Flintshire and Wrexham are being warned to be on their guard against anyone selling bogus neighbourhood safety stickers.
The unofficial sticker is red and branded with the words Neighbourhood Aware Scheme with a house and people pictured in the background and the message “Attention! No cold callers.”
North Wales Police wish to make it clear that the stickers are not part of any official campaign and any stickers the police and community safety partners do issue are always free and supplied as part of the
Neighbourhood Watch scheme or anti cold caller campaigns. The police are aware that a man has been calling on homes in the Caergwrle area offering these bogus stickers for cash donations and are urging the public not to buy them.
If you have any information regarding these stickers or you have purchased any, please contact North Wales Police on 101 or 0845 607 1001 (Welsh line) 0845 607 1002 (English line) or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
