Callington Police has issued a warning to local people following several reports of the practice in the area.

On a post on its Facebook page, a spokesperson for Callington Police said they have received reports recently of young men going door to door trying to sell various items out of a bag, claiming they have recently been released from prison.

They added: “This is a common technique and although predominantly polite we have received reports that residents have been met with vile language and aggression when refusing to buy anything.
