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.
