Police in Stockport have warned the community to be vigilant after two cold callers became 'aggressive' when challenged.
Police received reports of two suspicious males knocking on the front doors of elderly residents in Bramhall and offering to cut down trees last Friday.
When they were approached by a support worker from a nearby property and challenged, they became aggressive and drove off.
The police say it is possible the males could have been genuine, but have advised caution.
