Suspicious caller

[Nickystar]

I just had someone ring my doorbell. I went to the front door (access to block of 6 flats) and opened the door.

A man was there and asked if he could leave some leaflets, I said yes, he said he would just go to the car to get them but never came back. It felt very odd as he could just posted them. This was on Barry road. Does anyone know what could be going on?

There was someone dropping leaflets from an estate agent earlier today around the area. He was a long grey haired chap.

Perhaps his car had been towed away or nicked. ?

Why would he not have the leaflets with him?

Very strange.

We have had someone calling saying they have agreed to clean our windows. He told my husband I?d agreed it and told me my husband had. I?ve come across this person before in ED, he?s very disturbed. A young man in his 30s, a ponytail and fit physique. Any chance it is the same person? Not really sure what to do. He clearly wanted to enter our house.

This sounds like the same person referred to in this thread. When I saw him in M&S, he had window cleaning equipment with him and donned a ponytail. He seemed disturbed and was erratically approaching people asking them questions.

Notify your local ward police officers. The man may not have committed a crime, but may have some mental health issues.

Our local police officers (who also work with Southwark anti social behavior officers) know many local residents whose behavior may be suspect. The police also have good contacts with the community mental health teams.
