Late Night Woman Caller
A young female described as mixed
race, aged in her late 20s/early 30s, has been knocking on
doors late at night and sometimes in the very early hours in a
panicked state. She claims to be a neighbour and that her
partner/cousin etc has been stabbed, and that she needs to get
to hospital urgently but has no money to get a taxi.
She also claims that she has a number of children and they need to go with her in the taxi. When offered a lift she says that she just needs about £20 for a taxi to get to hospital. Because people are being neighbourly they generally give her £20 and she says she will pay them back, but this is the last they see of her.
The same female was doing the same thing around Ashburton/Addiscombe, a year ago, but had done this about 6 times we know of in the last couple of weeks.
Police advice is to call 999 if she appears at your door.
