Police Issue Warning Over Bogus Calls

Police have issued a warning after a conman tried to claim donations from businesses by pretending to collect donations.

Calls were made to several businesses in the Richmond area from a Bishop Auckland number.

The caller claimed to be a firefighter collecting donations to aid fire safety work in local schools.

A spokesperson for the police said, “If people are contacted by organisations claiming to be fund raising for any of the emergency services they are advised to contact the service to confirm the validity of the call and if it is bogus they should report the call to their local police force.”
