Police are warning households after numerous calls from the public regarding individuals going door to door selling tools such as generators, pressure washers, chainsaws and power drills.

A spokesman said that officers caught up with the men in the Falmouth area and while the goods appear legitimate, they seem "very poor in quality".

A spokesman said: "As a result details have been taken and will be passed to trading standards to investigate.

"Please be aware of individuals selling door to door, do not be pressured into buying their goods which may be of substandard quality and if you are suspicious of them, call us."
