Police are warning the public not to buy a television from two men with Irish accents, who have been reported in the Caerphilly town area.

At 2pm yesterday, Monday March 16, at Asda Car Park, on Pontygwindy Road, Gwent Police received a report of a man in white van attempting to sell a laptop and a television.

Later that day at around 3.15pm, police received a second call to Caerphilly Mountain Snack Bar, Mountain Road, reporting that two men in a small white Fiat Scudo van, registration MM07EFH, were trying sell a Samsung TV in the car park. The person the men were trying to sell the television to refused, and the van left the area.
