The London Police Service is currently investigating a number of complaints in relation to door to door solicitors for charities.
Individuals have been going door to door soliciting funds for well known charities without the sponsorship or knowledge of these charities.
Cheques, made out to various charities, have been deposited into personal accounts by the suspects.
The public is reminded that when dealing with unsolicited requests for donations or any type of sales, they should take a number of steps to insure that they ask the right questions to safeguard themselves from unscrupulous criminals.
