Phone scam targets Island residents

Police are warning people not to fall for a phone scam which sees people pretending to be officers.

Residents have had calls from people purporting to be from the Constabulary, saying someone's been arrested with their financial documents or bank cards.

But the real police say it's simply not true - and you shouldn't give out any personal or financial details over the phone.

Their advice is to hang up on the scammers, and to contact your local police station if you're worried.
