About 9 News 9 Launch of Shut Out Scammers Campaign

NWS joined officers from Police Scotland Edinburgh Prevention, Intervention and Partnerships, the National Rural & Acquisitive Crime Unit, and Business Crime Prevention Unit, as well as colleagues from Trading Standards, Age Scotland, and ACE IT Scotland.

It was great to speak to so many people visiting the garden centre where we provided information on Neighbourhood Watch Scotland, including how to get involved and receive Neighbourhood Alerts, whilst colleagues provided useful information and prevention advice regarding scams. Thank you to the manager and staff and everyone who stopped to speak to us.
