Elderly Targeted by Fake Police Officers

There has been a recent series of incidents whereby fraudsters either phone or attend the home address of elderly members of the public, claiming to be police officers. The fake officer/s will claim that they are investigating a fraud which they believe the elderly person to be a victim of.

If the first contact was made by a phone call, the fake officer/s will tell the victim that someone will be over to collect the evidence. In one case the victim was instructed to attend their local bank and withdraw all of the money from

"We don't know where he has come from, but we have seen him from time to time over the past year or so. "If we cannot re-home him or find his original owner we will probably have to take him to a Rescue centre and hope that he finds a new family. Thanks in anticipation." If you
