Beware Chesterfield fraudster

A potential fraudster is operating in Chesterfield.

Chesterfield Borough Council said residents have been approached by a man offering to cut down trees at homes in the town.

The man drives around in a white van and claims to work for Nottinghamshire County Council.

If you are approached by someone claiming to be a council employee, always ask for ID.

If you are approached by a suspected bogus operator, report it to Derbyshire Constabulary on 101.
