Police are investigating after a spate of cold callers in South Cumbria have been trying to sell people items on the doorstep.
South Lakes Police said they had received reports from people across the Kendal area yesterday, Friday June 19, and also in Staveley and Underbarrow.
South Lakes Police said: “We can confirm that none of them are ex-service personnel or ‘re-formed offenders’ conducting sales on behalf of the Probation Service.
“Just to be absolutely clear the national Probation Service does not operate or endorse any such scheme.
“We have identified and located the individuals concerned and paperwork requiring them to attend court will be forthcoming.
“We would be interested to hear from anyone who has CCTV or video doorbell footage and thinks it may be linked.”
