Scam warning for butchers

Police issued a warning after two butchers, in Tewkesbury and Gloucester, were contacted over the phone with orders for large quantities of meat. The purchaser then attempted to pay using stolen bankcards.

Both butchers became suspicious and contacted the police before completing any sale.
