TWO bags have been seized following a ‘Nottingham Knockers’ attempt.
Police seized the bags yesterday (June 9) afternoon in Malvern.
Malvern Cops Tweeted: “Two unhappy traders.
“Please contact me via my email if you would be willing to share your experience of Nottingham Knockers, because I'm compiling information to prepare a case for preventative measures. susan.parr@westmercia.pnn.police.uk”
You may know this group as ‘the duster sellers’. They are normally young men that turn up on your doorstep with a huge black holdall full of cleaning products ranging from tea towels, dishcloths and dusters to sprays, polishes and even small clothing items.
Initially they all came from the Nottingham area, obtaining their goods from a warehouse at Clifton just outside of Nottingham and they then come ‘knocking’ on your door to trade, hence the term ‘Nottingham Knockers’.
Not only are these people selling poor quality items at highly inflated prices, they are also checking out suitable targets for details to be sold onwards to professional burglars.
