POLICE are reminding people to be vigilant after they received a number of complaints regarding bogus callers and distraction burglars in the city.

Advice has been provided to residents, highlighting the need to ensure people check the identification of all person(s) claiming to be from a service provider - regardless of whether they were expected or not.

All professionals will be happy to wait until their identification is confirmed.

Those visiting persons should remain outside the property, while their true identity is checked.

If you are concerned about a visitor call 101, or in an emergency call 999.
