“Look through a window to see who is at the door, anyone who is legitimate will have identification and will be more than happy to show this to you.

“Above all else if you are not sure who is at the door do not open it. If you see any suspicious activity then please call the police.

“The law states you can use reasonable force to protect yourself or others, however it does not protect you if the action is over the top or calculated revenge.”
