    Hi folks,

    White Peugeot Partner van [Mod Edit: cant post reg] (10 - D - xxxxx) going around earlier this morning stopped and asked someone in my area some stupid little question this morning as I was heading to work.

    Came home early and spotted a white van slowly entering one of the estates, a little too slowly. It parked in one area of the estate and as I walked around the estate and came back to my home, they were parked nearby again.

    A man and woman were going door to door selling knife sets, in the same box/colour/style as this, with a child in the van, somewhere between 7 - 9.

    It could be innocent but could definitely be casing for later too. There was also a break-in a few nights ago in Delford I've been told.

    Be careful folks, lock up around Rochestown.

    What did the Guards say when you rang them to report it?

    Please stop trying to draw the OP out, they are trying to help - I wont acceot flaming on here. A simple "did you manage to let the Gardai know" would suffice.

    Onto the neighbour at the moment who was already in touch with the guards this morning. If she has someone in particular I'll pass it onto them, if not I'll be onto the station.

    I know ages ago there was a chap selling knife sets or cutlery sets from the back of van as such, we actually have one haha but he was a nice chap..

    If by any chance it is a heavy blacked haired English mad in a suit id say be wary.. One of those gezzer type of fellas...
    If he hands you a card for doing pavements and tar stay well away and as you say lock up the house..

    Thanks for the tipp off I shall warn all

    Got in touch with Togher Garda station and they've alerted patrols. Already had a garda car going through the estates.

    I didn't get a chance to talk to the man at all, only saw him climbing into the car before they left! Light blonde-red hair on him, both in their 50s. I'll be keeping an eye out around here anyway, might rig my webcams up for some over night surveillance :P
