CRIMINALS posing as door-to-door salesmen are being treated as a priority by police due to growing concerns from elderly residents.
The Chronicle can reveal ‘pop-up’ police stations have been appearing in areas of Penistone where older people live.
Patrols are also being increased to provide assurance.
A police report said: “A group of door-to-door sellers were located and one was charged with burglary due to him entering a property.
“Pop-up police stations have been held in prominent areas to give put information and crime prevention advice to local residents.”
