POLICE are warning of a door-to-door salesmen passing off 'worthless' knick knacks for expensive goods.

Topsham police are searching for a man with a northern accent selling handkerchiefs and small electrical items similar to the 'freebie' items given in magazines. One woman was forced to buy a 'cheap' pocket reading light for £39.99 to get rid of the salesman.
