Business and Rural premises SCAM |

|
Dear Resident, Hertfordshire Police are advising businesses and Rural Premises to be aware of a current Scam whereby individuals are claiming to be from Highways or similar. The individuals are believed to arrive at a property/business, stating they have been carrying out roadworks nearby, and have leftover materials. They then leave the leftover materials containing gravel, stones or road surfacing material on driveways or nearby. Shortly afterwards, the same individuals demand large sums of money as payment and harass property owners if payment is not received.
Hertfordshire Police and the Rural Team are taking these incidents seriously, and several lines of enquiry are being carried out.
If you receive a suspicious visit or call from someone you believe is not genuine, do not make any payment and end contact immediately. If the suspects are on your premises and you feel you are in immediate danger, please call 999. For anything else, capture all evidence such as CCTV, vehicle makes, models, registration numbers and descriptions of offenders and submit a report to Police via 101, webchat, or online, quoting Operation Nimbostratus:
