DEVON and Cornwall Police would like residents to be aware of the following suspicious circumstances in the local area of Rural Crediton, potentially further afield.

Suspicious male and female were attending rural properties, in the Crediton area, and said they were collecting for Great Ormond Street Hospital.

They stated that they did not want cash, but were asking people for their Direct Debit details.

They were wearing Purple Tabards, but the reporting person still found it strange that they would come to such a rural area.

The incident took place at 12.40pm on Saturday, November 1 in the area of EX17.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police via the Devon and Cornwall Police website or by calling 101 quoting log number 491 of 1.11.25.
