NORTH Wales Police (NWP) have issued a warning to residents of the region about a scam involving fuel stations in the area.
That message comes following an incident at a Denbighshire site, police say.
A member of staff at that particular fuel station received a phone call from a male claiming to be the regional manager of their company.
The male instructed the member of staff to put packs of cigarettes into a plastic bag ready for collection in the morning.
The member of staff has then contacted their line manager who confirmed that the male on the phone was NOT the regional manager.
A spokesperson for NWP said: "This message is being shared with fuel stations in your area to make you aware that North Wales Police have received a report regarding a potential scam targeting fuel stations.
"This type of scam is well known and has been reported to police several times in the past, so please be vigilant and make your colleagues aware in case your fuel station receives any similar calls.
"If you do receive any suspicious calls which you believe may be a scam then please report them via 101 or online via the NWP website.
"If you are able to then please make a note of the phone number which the call came from. On this occasion it was a mobile phone number."
