Police have issued a warning over bogus callers following incidents in Oswaldtwistle and Church.

Officers said offenders posed as both United Utilities and Virgin Media officials on Wednesday, February 24, to try and gain entry into people’s homes and steal property.

Anthony Ford, police watch liaison officer, said one of the offenders is described as a male aged between 30 and 40, wearing dark clothes and a dark-coloured ‘bob’ hat.

Call police on 101.
