ON Thursday 5 June 2008 Police in Inverness received a number of reports from residents in the Allanfearn, Milton of Leys and Leachkin areas of the City reporting suspicious persons.
These reports concerned people who were claiming to be from a national company and enquiring as to whether they could read the gas/electric meter at the particular houses they approached.
Checks with the companies these people claimed they were representing revealed that they were not connected and to all intents and purposes appear to be bogus callers.
Inverness Police are trying to trace two men using a vehicle in connection with the above incidents. The vehicle is believed to be a Nissan Micra, blue in colour.
Police are warning people in these areas and potentially other areas of the city to be vigilant and if anyone comes to their door in a similar scenario please do not hestitate to ask for identification and or call the Police if circumstances dictate.
The contact number for Inverness Police is 01463 715555 or call the confidential Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111.
