Bedfordshire Police warn residents to be wary of doorstep sellers

The company claim they are operating with Bedfordshire Police, this is a false statement and the force is issuing advice on alarm systems and reminding people to be wary of doorstep sellers.

Police are reminding people who are considering installing CCTV or a burglar alarm system at their property to take time to research the best product and best deal.

The force has issued the following advice: always get three quotes and remember you have the right to a cooling off period, remember to ask the supplier if their products are Secured By Design accredited and never take a company that cold calls you at face value.
