Rogue Traders
Traders using Yellow Ford Transit Pick Up VRM NA55XDO have been targeting elderly residents in the Dunmurry Village area and appear to be charging excessive prices for power washing services.
Despite being handsomely paid for carrying out work for one resident, they returned the following morning and attempted to encourage the resident into handing over even more cash. This vehicle had previously been noted calling at the same address 3 or 4 times over the course of one day.
Please bear in mind the hard sell tactics that are employed by these persons when securing work from vulnerable members of the community. If this vehicle is sighted please notify police.

There were reports a white transit van JNZ8851 driving around the Culcavy area yesterday with 3 males on board, southern accents claiming they were cleaning roofs, paying a lot of attention to houses.
As a result of a stop and check by police it was established the above persons were about to carry out work on the home of an elderly lady who felt she was being pressurised into having the work done which was £350 for powerwashing her drive! She wished the persons to leave and they did so on the request of police.
