AN ALERT was sent out by police as a woman approached a house trying to sell a small dog.
Officers received a report last Thursday of a woman approaching a house in Gloucester Road, Cirencester, carrying a small dog asking if the resident wanted to buy it.
When she was challenged, she walked off.
The female was described as having red hair and was wearing a blue cardigan with blue jeans.
Residents are asked that if they witness anything similar to call police if it is happening on 999 or 101 if it has already happened.
The information comes from Neighbourhood alert.
