Datchet, Horton and Wraysbury:

Thursday, August 25, 9.25am, Acacia Avenue, Wraysbury. An individual came to someone’s door, claiming to be a doctor. He said the doctor’s surgery had sent him and he needed to enter the house to see an elderly resident who lived there.

He did have some personal details. He had NHS logos on his car and was wearing PPE overalls, mask and a briefcase and looked to be around 55 with a laptop and glasses.

The occupants were ‘very surprised’ as the elderly person who lives there is ‘relatively healthy and this was not expected.’

On further discussion with him, he looked confused and explained there must be some kind of mix up with the arranging of appointments and left.

The resident then called their doctors surgery and were told they would never send someone to the house, except under very specific circumstances.

Both the surgery and the 111 number recommended they should report to the police.

Police would like to know if anyone else received such a visit. Ref. No: 43220381963
