Police have issued a warning after fraudsters have been using people’s personal details to have goods delivered to their homes, which they later collect.
Elderly residents have been receiving parcels, in their names, delivered from various catalogue companies which they never ordered. They later receive a call from an unknown person, who says the parcel had been delivered to them by mistake and that they will come and collect it.
The packages mostly contain items of significant value such as mobile phones, video cameras, shoes and clothing.
Anyone who receives a package which they did not order and a phone call from someone saying they want to pick it up should contact Detective Constable Sharon Vann at Aylesbury CID via the police non emergency number 0845 8 505 505.
