⚠️ Scam Alert ⚠️

We have received reports of a potential scam operating in the area.

Individuals may knock on your door claiming they have lost their mobile phone and that the "Find My Phone" app is showing the device at your address. They may insist that their phone is inside your property and attempt to gain entry or pressure you into assisting them.

✅ If this happens:

• Do not allow anyone into your home unless you are satisfied with who they are and why they are there.
• Speak through a closed door or use a doorbell camera where possible.
• If you do not know the person, do not feel pressured to assist.
• If they become persistent or you feel threatened, call the police immediately.
• If a genuine phone has been lost, the owner can contact the police for advice rather than attempting to enter private property.

Please remember that mobile phone location services are not always accurate and can sometimes show an incorrect location.

If you have experienced a similar incident or have any information, please report it to us via 101 or online at www.derbyshire.police.uk. Always call 999 in an emergency.
