Rogue traders and doorstep crime

What is doorstep crime?

There are many forms of doorstep crime such as:

  • distraction burglary
  • bogus callers
  • bogus officials
  • high pressure selling
  • rogue traders.

We work closely with partner agencies and share any information we receive to help fight this crime. We are involved in a number of projects and new ways of tackling this crime.

Doorstep crime can affect anyone, but often older and vulnerable adults are more at risk from becoming victims of bogus cold calling and rogue doorstep sellers.
