Hoax calls: police appeal

POLICE have called for the people of Wotton-under-Edge to be vigilant after they started to receive hoax phone calls from the area.

The calls are being made from the phone box in Bear Street and also from the box in the nearby hamlet of Wortley.

Sgt Neil Gibbs said: "We have received literally dozens of malicious hoax calls in the past week. We would encourage anyone who sees someone hanging around those phone boxes to contact us. Hoax calls can cost lives."
