This is a Community Message from Dorset Police, we thank you for your continued support.
15032012. Dorset Police would like to remind residents not to allow strangers into their home, regardless of what they are told on their doorstep. Recently an elderly occupant became victim of a distraction burglary having allowed a stranger in to her home. The male claimed his car had broken down and asked to use her phone book to call for assistance. It was subsequently discovered he had stolen cash and bankcards. This is one of many fictitious reasons used to gain entry into unsuspecting victims homes. If you are in doubt of callers legitimacy, please call a friend or neighbour to assist you in verifying their identity. Please pass this information on. Thank you.
