The police finally took action and this individual has been ordered to stop these patrols. I am physically drained from this fight but grateful we kept the pressure on until the end. We must stay alert to ensure these streets remain safe for our neighbors.

There have been recent incidents in the Telford, Shropshire area whereby a young man has been conning the vulnerable, elderly and general public out of money by knocking on doors and pretending to be a friendly neighbour.
This man offers to take any rubbish that you have and put in his 'Nan's' skip that he has hired which is only half full. After asking for a contribution of money from you (Amounts can be anything from £5 to £50) he will take your rubbish and Fly Tip in local alleyways, parks, the street or even throw it back in your own garden! This is leaving the community (Especially the elderly) upset, shook up and angry.
The Environmental Police seem to have got involved on the Fly Tipping side of things and have informed me that he will be fined for Fly Tipping, however my main concern, along with many others of Telford, is for the vulnerable and elderly community that are being targeted and having money taken from them.
Despite this man being reported many times to the police, along with him being identified and his name, address and phone number given numerous times, it seems that nothing has been done by the Police to stop this happening, and he continues to take money and to knock on the doors of residents in Telford.
This petition is to hand to West Mercia Police to show them the amount of people concerned by this man and the amount of people who are shocked that this man is still allowed to continue to knock on doors and take money from local residents, many of which are elderly by lying and manipulating people.
This is also to show West Mercia Police the amount of people that are concerned that nothing seems to have been done about this man

The stories coming in from residents are exhausting to read because they show how much fear this individual is still causing across Telford. I am spending my evenings documenting these accounts to send directly to the police because the current silence from authorities is simply not acceptable.

Seeing this much support for our neighborhood is overwhelming even when I feel drained by the lack of action. The momentum proves we are not alone in our frustration and that is enough to keep me moving forward.

This person told me he was going to take our junk away in his truck for £20, he legt it on the curbside and took off.
Enough.is enough. He has targeted vulnerable people in Broseley and it's unacceptable
He's bloody vermin and needs to be off our streets. He came to my house but I kindly let the dog show him out of the garden. I've been so worried about my mom as she is elderly and vulnerable. This needs to be dealt with.
I reported this happening to me, nearly 2 weeks ago. Action from the police appears to be NIL. I am appalled that these crimes are still allegedly going on and despite an assurance that this man will be arrested, nothing has happened as yet (to my knowledge) and there is zero communication from the police.
I didn't fall for it as his story didn't hold together but I really feel for those people who have. Is disgusting that he is travelling all over Telford (and beyond apparently) with impunity and spinning the same yarn.
The police doing nothing is disgracefully.

He has came to my house and offered to take my old bed and tv off the drive to put into his 'nans' half full skip. After taking the rubbish from the top of the drive to the bottom he came to the window and said he was going to get his van, he never returned and left the rubbish at the bottom of my drive. Something needs doing!!
