WCSO: Beware of Aggressive Door to Door Solicitors

The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office is asking residents to be on the lookout for aggressive solicitors. Thursday deputies responded to Mt. Rose Highway and Callahan Ranch Road on reports of aggressive solicitors going door-to-door for donations for a children’s book project. Residents say that when they tried to decline, the solicitors became agitated, pushy, and refused to take no for an answer. Deputies believe this group of solicitors are working in Washoe County without the required business license and work permits.
