This is a message from Northamptonshire West Police to all members of
Neighbourhood Watch in Northamptonshire.

Northamptonshire Police and partners are predicating that doorstep crime is
likely to peak this March and April.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you  'If you're not sure don't
open the door'. If you are unsure of someone's identity, ask them for their
name and company, close/lock your door and then call the company from an
official number in the phone book. If you are still unsure do not let them
into your house.

Please pass this message on to those you care about and help reduce doorstep
crime.

If you are concerned about a caller at your door or suspect that distraction
burglars or rogue doorstep traders are operating in your community, please
call our dedicated Doorstep crime Action Network (DAN) number 0345 23 07
702.
