Over the last week, concerns have been circulating on a community social media group in Telford about salespeople from meal delivery service, Hello Fresh.
After recent burglaries in the area, residents in Shawbirch, Admaston and Bratton had questioned the behaviour of the salespeople - who had been knocking on doors in the area in the evening and reportedly taking photographs of homes.
Now, police have moved to reassure residents that there is nothing to connect the workers with the burglaries.
PCSO Trudy Jones said: "It has come to our attention from members of the public speaking to our safer neighbourhood team and speculation online that members in the community are concerned about Hello Fresh sales in the areas of Shawbirch, Admaston and Bratton.
"We would like to advise you that our team have been in contact with Hello Fresh and have spoken with some salespeople who were in the area of Admaston. There is nothing to suggest that these salespeople have anything to do with recent burglaries in the area, and their details have been checked by the police.
"However, we would still like to encourage you to continue to report any suspicious activity to the police, your communication with us regarding local issues is valuable to our team.”
