Vernon RCMP are warning the general public about a man who is going door-to-door, attempting to solicit money from homeowners.

Over the past three days, the man has been going throughout the area from 48th Avenue to 30th Avenue in Vernon.

“He has primarily been targeting elderly homeowners and asking for $30 for various reasons,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy on Tuesday,

He is described as a thinner man in his late 20s to early 30s, wearing shorts and a red baseball cap.

Police are cautioning the general public to be money smart, and to call police if they see any suspicious activity or are concerned for their safety.
