The city of Bothell is warning citizens of a door-to-door sales scam running through the local area.

Residents along the 21000 block of 33rd Drive SE reported a ‘salesmen’ from Kirby Vacuum Cleaner going through the neighborhood.

The persons of interest are males, who claim to be sales representatives, and are very persistent in gaining access and entry to the residences.

These persons do not appear to be carrying any items associated with vacuum sales or to Kirby Vacuum Cleaner.

A Bothell Police Department spokesperson has contacted Kirby Vacuum Cleaner, who said that they still work with independent door-to-door salesman. According to Kirby, none of the representatives should be aggressive or persistent.

The male ‘sales reps’ have been recorded on home security videos looking into cars and, in general, acting suspiciously, however they have not been linked to any recent criminal activity.

The Bothell Police Department encourages anyone who sees suspicious activity or persons to call 911 immediately to report the incident.
