Individuals known as the ‘Nottingham Knockers’ are an organised travelling band of known criminals who have numerous convictions mostly for burglary, theft, violence and sexual offences. They target homes of the elderly and the vulnerable aggressively selling inferior household products such as cloths and dusters then threaten when refused leaving the resident feeling intimated, scared and distressed.
