Weve arrested three men after carrying out raids as part of a national crackdown on rogue traders. The day of action on Wednesday (April 9) involved teams of police officers working alongside officers from Cambridgeshire County Councils Trading Standards Service. Rogue trading is when traders cold-call houses offering a service like paving, gardening or tarmacking, they often target the elderly and vulnerable and deliberately overcharge for unnecessary or unsatisfactory services or goods. Work is often left unfinished and often intimidation is used to get payment. The national operation aims to tackle mis-selling, deceit and failure to give cancellation rights to customers.
