Possible Scam?
Lots of people have found small stickers on their front doors advertising "24/7 Locksmith Repair Installation Locked out 0203 582 8279"
INFORMATION / ADVICE
The police have said they are aware of the stickers and quite a few have been put on various letter boxes in our area. The telephone number on the stickers is not connecting so it would seem that it is not an advert, however, at present the real intention of the stickers is unknown. All we can ask is that you remove the stickers from your door, if you find one, and tell your neighbours to do the same. Also make sure that all your doors, including your shed door and side gates, are properly secured and don’t leave anything in your back garden. If you do see anything suspicious or a person putting the stickers on the door please call police on 101 which is a 24/7 number. This information was sent to Neighbourhood Watch Coordinators on 30/4/2013. Website: www.mertonnhw.co.uk and provided by Councillor Mary-Jane Jeanes
