A person selling saucepans and another selling generators are doing the rounds in the Belturbet area

GARDAÍ in Belturbet are asking local homeowners to be vigilant after they received several reports of door to door cold calling in the area.

people have contacted gardaí to say they are concerned about two individuals who have been in the area in recent days going from house to house trying to sell goods.

One person is offering generators to sell, and a second man is selling saucepans.

An Garda Síochána Cavan/Monaghan have taken to social media to make people aware.

A description of the person with the saucepans says he claims “to work for a shop in Enniskillen and this does not appear to be true. However, he does seem to be selling genuine saucepans.”

“Unknown callers sometimes act as a distraction in order to allow another person access to your home,” gardaí say. They advise people who are concerned about the callers' presence to ask them to leave.

They also tell homeowners who suspect anything suspicious, to call 999 immediately and report it.
