A SUSPICIOUS man claiming to be an employee of Bromford Housing Association was seen in Sapperton.

The man was seen knocking door to door in The Glebe, Sapperton asking to look at the back of roofs to make sure they were the same as the front. 

Bromford confirmed that the man is not an employee. 

Police advise that if someone comes to residents' door stating that they are there to do work, their ID should be checked and they should not be let into the house until it is made certain that they are who they say they are. 

If in doubt, police ask residents to call the organisation they are purporting to be from.
