POLICE Scotland received several reports regarding cold callers in East Berwickshire yesterday.

Officers say that if doorstep callers are in your area and use persistent, pushy, or abusive behaviour, please get in touch with the police immediately.

Any person selling items door to door must possess a Pedlar’s Certificate and produce the certificate for inspection if requested.
