Police in Bourne have taken away pencil drawings from a woman after reports of her going door-to-door in an attempt to sell them.
The woman is claimed to have shown people a laminated card stating she was deaf and trying to earn money towards further education.
But the drawings were taken from her after police found them to be of poor quality and the woman not to have a peddler’s license.
Police are reminding residents to use door chains and peepholes in the event of cold callers knocking on their doors and free “No Cold Callers” stickers are also available from Bourne Police Station.
