Local neighbourhood policing officers in Frome (Avon & Somerset Police) have asked for the publics help to identify a male who has been posting ‘sums of money’ through doors.

Officers did not reveal how much money had been given away or how many people had received an anonymous letter in a post published on their Facebook page yesterday (21st Feb) morning. 

A spokesperson for the team said:

‘Frome Neighbourhood Policing Team have received reports of a male posting sums of money and letters through doors in the community. 

‘We are keen to speak to this male and ascertain the reasoning behind this act. 

‘If you have any information about this male or have experienced anything similar, please contact the Police on 101 ‘

Whilst giving money away to strangers is not a criminal offence, officers will probably want to satisfy themselves that the cash has not come from the proceeds of crime. 

Replying to the post, one social media user said:

‘Because giving something of value away to others is now a cause for suspicion and potentially a crime… 

‘It’s Lent (a time of reflection), we are coming up to Easter, and we’re enduring a pandemic which has seen many suffer unimaginably. 

‘It’s probably just someone trying to do something good and to bring some light into someone’s day, without the need to be thanked.

Doing the right thing is not about being seen. It is about doing the right thing when no one is looking’.

Before you go...

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

    Of all the people exciting police attention, I would have thought that a good Samaritan should be right at the bottom of the list. No crime has been committed, unless eccentricity has recently been criminalised, and these days, anything is possible.
