As part of the national Shut Out Scammers campaign local police officers have been working with North Ayrshire Council to raise awareness of doorstep crime and provide tips to avoid becoming a victim.
Last week, every shielding box and school meal delivery included a leaflet providing information on doorstep crime.
Officers also attended two of the hubs – Kilwinning and St
Matthew’s Academies – to meet and thank some of the teams responsible.

Scotland is in lockdown. Shops are closing and newspaper sales are falling fast. We’re not exaggerating when we say that the future of the Irvine Times, and the vital local news service we’ve provided since 1873, is under threat.
Please consider supporting the Irvine Times in whatever way you can – by paying just 90p for a copy of the paper, when you’re shopping for essential supplies for yourself and others, or by subscribing to our e-edition here.
Thanks – and stay safe.
