Please be aware.

No police officer will ever ask you for money

If someone claiming to be a police officer asks you for money, hang up and report it. It's a scam.

We're reminding residents to stay vigilant after recent courier fraud incidents where victims have been conned out of thousands of pounds.

Courier fraud typically starts with a phone call from someone claiming to be a police officer, bank employee, or another official. Their story can sound convincing, and they may spend a long-time building trust before asking for personal or financial information.

Scammers often persuade victims to reveal PIN numbers and bank card details, withdraw cash, or buy high-value items. They then arrange for a "courier" to collect the money or goods.

Recent reports have been received across Herefordshire, Shropshire and Worcestershire. Older people are often targeted.

Our message is simple: no police officer will ever ask you for money, your bank card, your PIN, or for valuables to be handed over for safekeeping.

Please take a few minutes to check in with older relatives, friends and neighbours who may be less aware of this scam. A simple conversation could help prevent someone from becoming a victim.

These offences are being tackled as part of Operation Prospero, West Mercia Police's work to identify and stop criminals who pose as police officers, alongside national partners including Report Fraud: https://orlo.uk/VBnnf

You can find out more about courier fraud by visiting our website.

If you have been contacted by someone claiming to be a police officer and you're unsure whether they're genuine, trust your instincts and end the call.

Report it by calling 101 or via our website. In an emergency, always call 999.

CBO | A persistent shoplifter who targeted stores in Leominster, Malvern and Hereford has been given a three-year Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) at court.

Danielle McGee, 35, of Garth Meadow, Knighton, Powys, was convicted at Hereford Magistrates Court on Friday (6 November) of four counts of theft from shop.

McGee was fined ordered to pay compensation totalling £ 1,591.79, to pay a victim surcharge of £288 and fined £50.

She was also made subject to the CBO for three years which means she is prohibited from entering the following stores for that period: -

• Co-op, Dishley Street, Leominster.

• B&Q, Mill Street, Leominster.

• Leominster Pharmacy, West Street, Leominster.

• Chave and Jackson, Broad Street, Hereford.

• M&S, Roman Way, Malvern Retail Park.

Police Sergeant Nicola McColl of Leominster Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “We are pleased to secure this CBO against McGee, which prohibits her from entering five stores in Leominster and helps protect local businesses from further theft offences.

“Shoplifting is far from a victimless crime. It can have a significant financial impact on businesses, causes distress to staff, and affects the wider community.

“We will continue to work with retailers and partner agencies to tackle repeat offending and keep our town centre a safe place to work, shop and visit.

“Anyone who sees McGee breaching the terms of her CBO should report it to us via 101 or online via our website.”

Officers searching for a missing man from Kington, Herefordshire, have released CCTV footage showing the last known sighting of him.

Roger Midgley, 59, was reported missing last Thursday (5 November) but has not been seen since Monday 26 October. Detectives now believe he may have travelled into Wales.

The CCTV, recorded on Headbrook in Kington, is the last confirmed sighting of Roger. Following initial enquiries, officers now know Roger is not with the car seen in the footage.

Searches involving specialist teams continue in rural areas around the Welsh border.

Roger is described as white with tanned skin, a grey beard and grey hair which is long at the back. He is of slim build with broad shoulders and is just under 6ft tall. He walks with a mobility aid.

He may be wearing a dark jacket or fleece, Crocs and/or a beanie hat.

Detective Sergeant Naz Waliat said: “We are releasing this CCTV footage in the hope it jogs someone’s memory and helps us establish Roger’s movements. The footage was captured on Headbrook in Kington on Monday 26 October and is the last confirmed sighting we have of him. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen him that day or in the days that followed.

“Following our initial enquiries, we now know Roger is not with the vehicle seen in the CCTV footage. However, we still need to understand where he went afterwards, and any information from the public could be crucial in helping us build a clearer picture of his movements.

“Specialist search teams continue to carry out searches in rural areas around the Welsh border, and a number of enquiries remain ongoing. We would ask people not to dismiss information because they think it may be insignificant. A sighting, a conversation, or a piece of CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage could provide the vital lead we need.

“If you were in Kington on 26 October, travelled through the area, or have been in border communities between Herefordshire and Wales in recent days, please think back and get in touch if you remember seeing Roger. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone who recognises him from the CCTV footage or who has information that could help us find him.”

Anyone who thinks they have seen Roger or has information about where he may be is asked to call 999 and quote reference 00119_i_05112026.
