Staffordshire Police said a man had called at a property on Old Road today (16th October) asking to check the rear of the address.

PCSO Rhys Rockley said:

> “He stated he was from Network Rail and wanted to check the trees at the back of the property.  
>  
> “The man was wearing a orange hi-vis vest and driving an unmarked pick up truck, possibly a Nissan.  
>  
> “The occupant of the address believed this was suspicious, rang Network Rail who confirmed there was nobody in the area taking out such works on their behalf.  
>  
> “Please be vigilant and always question unknown people knocking on your door. Companies like Network Rail will write to residents prior to any visits.”
