Phone hoaxer claims he's Inspector Morse's sidekick

11:27am Tue 2nd Sep 08:: written by Antony Quarrell

A man claiming to be Inspector Morse's sidekick Lewis has made a slew of hoax phone calls to local addresses.

Over the weekend police received nine reports relating to suspicious telephone calls in the Dedworth and Old Windsor area.

A police spokesman said: "In all cases the call was made by a man, who claims to be DCI Lewis, of Morse fame, from Thames Valley Police. He claims there is trouble with youths in the area and he would be grateful if the call recipient could assist him by looking out of an upstairs window, to see if there is any youth activity in that area."

The man appears calm during the hoax calls but if asked for his shoulder number he becomes flustered and puts the phone down.

If anyone gets a call which they feel is suspicious they should put the phone down and terminate the call, and then dial 1471 to see if the caller's number has been recorded. So far the hoaxer has withheld his number but police say he may get careless.

Police have asked people who have received one of these calls and not reported it to do so now, and call 0845 8 505 505 and ask to speak to investigating officer PC 5298 Marc Philips. Or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
