A resident on Ogley Hay Road was visited by a man at around 5pm on 19th October claiming he was from a housing association and needed to check the gas supply.

PCSO Leon Worden said:

> “The man is said to have been showing the resident some sort of an ID card and was very interested about what was inside the property.  
>  
> “The home was privately owned and when the resident checked with the housing association, no visit was scheduled for the area.  
>  
> “I’d remind people to be aware of bogus officials and to check the credentials of visitors to your home if they say they need to check your property.  
>  
> “If you are unsure to make a call to the respective company from a phone number that you look up yourself before giving people access.”
