The letter said: “It has been bought to our attention that there are ongoing, targeted attempts to steal freezers by calling our customers to say that we have requested the freezer to be uplifted. So far, we are aware of five of our customers who have been approached in the last 24 hours, and the police are currently investigating this criminal activity.

“If you receive calls like this, please take no action. We are not making any such requests, and we will always confirm any freezer pickups in writing ahead of time.”
