Policing update:

Please be vigilant after further reports of cold callers impersonating a police officer from Scotland Yard.

Callers are purporting to be from Scotland Yard Police and demand withdrawal of large amounts of cash from banks.

Police are urging members of the public to be vigilant when dealing with cold callers and that genuine police officers/staff would never approach residents in this manner or ask them to withdraw money.

Anyone with concerns about such calls should contact Norfolk Police on the non-emergency number 101 or 999 if a crime is in progress. Alternatively, contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.
