A SCAM warning has been issued by Wiltshire Police following several suspicious phone calls.

A Wiltshire farm owner received two phone calls from somebody claiming to be a John Thomas from the Rural Crime Team at Wiltshire Police, but police confirmed that there is no John Thomas in that department.

The man was reported to ask to speak to the owner of the farm and if they could list the vehicles they had. When the farm owner questioned him he said the line was very bad and hung up.

The voice of the man was described as very husky, as though he has a sore throat.

If you have any more information or have been called by this imposter please call Wiltshire Police on 101.
