Cold callers target Island residents

An Island resident has been left £800 out of pocket after a cold-call from a possible scammer.

Police have had reports of people getting phone calls telling them they have won a free holiday.

The caller then asks for bank or credit card details for taxes and admin fees they say need to be paid.
