A resident called to let us know that someone rang his doorbell at 4 AM on a Sunday morning telling him there had been an accident further down the street, and could he use his phone. The homeowner looked down the street and didn't see an accident so asked this person his name. The person responded Dyson. After being told to go home he then left. Be very careful when someone tries to get entry into your house for any reason, city police say that once that person gets in to use your phone that person then wants to use the washroom, etc. in order to casing out your house to do a house invasion or break and enter at a later date. It goes without saying, but a reminder is always good to never let a stranger in your house. Warning for Lendrum Residents Some aggressive scammers from an Energy Company are in Lendrum. In spite of their glossy name tags they have no business seeing your utility bills. They are very insistent and pushy.
