ESSEX Dog Watch have told Thurrock residents to be careful and keep their dogs safe after being informed of a scam going on involving the removal of dogs purportedly on the basis of quarantine.
On their Facebook page, Essex Dog Watch said: “We have been informed that police are making people aware there is a scam going round regarding dog owners.
“Men are knocking on the doors of dog owners saying they need to remove any dogs on the premises to quarantine due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
“Please do not open your doors to strangers and do not hand your dogs over to anyone.”
