Suspicious incidents in Heathfield
This month, officers have seen three incidents in Heathfield, involving elderly women being called by someone impersonating a Police Officer.
The male had given a fake officer name, collar number and reference number, before proceeding to ask victims to withdraw large amounts of cash to ‘assist an investigation’.
Fortunately, none of the 3 victims have lost any money.
Please remember that the police will not ask you for money or bank details. If you receive a similar call, you should hang up and report to the police by calling 101, as this can aid ongoing investigations.
