FRAUDSTERS pretending to be police officers are attempting to steal money from elderly people in Droitwich and the rest of Worcestershire.
West Mercia Police has urged residents to stay vigilant when picking up the phone to people they don’t know.
Criminals are posing as police officers, before attempting to obtain bank details.
Detective Inspector Emma Wright of West Mercia Police said: “We’ve received reports of fraudulent calls occurring across our communities, whereby criminals are impersonating police officers asking their victims to part with cash.
“We’re pleased to see that some members of our communities are beginning to recognise scam calls and we are hugely grateful that you’ve continued to share these messages with your loved ones.
“You’re helping to save them from becoming victims of crime.”
