We have had a report of two males in the Billingham area knocking on doors saying they are collecting the window cleaner’s money.

Please ensure that before you give any money to any one at your door that you know who they are most residents know there own window cleaner.

  • Install and use door chains
  • Use spy holes to see who is at the door
  • Display uninvited caller stickers
  • Do not keep large amounts of money at home
  • Encourage family, friends, carers and neighbours to check that these are in place
  • Encourage people to register a password with their water company
  • Encourage people to ask for identification from those at the door
