POLICE have warned villagers in Pendle to be vigilant after they received reports that a man was behaving suspiciously.
Officers visited the Skipton Road area of Trawden on Monday night after a woman became concerned when a man knocked on her door and claimed he was delivering a takeaway – even though she had not ordered one.
The Asian man in his 30s had no food, bags or even a vehicle and was later spotted looking through car windows.
PC Nigel Keates, who covers Colne Rural, said police searched the area and found no-one matching the man’s description.
He added: “It has caused some consternation in the village. So all I can say is well done to the woman who reported it; she certainly did the right thing and it pays to be wary.”
