A 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of acting as a pedlar in the Skegness area without a certificate.
Lincolnshire Police report they received multiple reports over the last couple of weeks of a man going door to door.
The man was reportedly trying to sell items and when stopped by officers, was unable to produce a pedlar’s licence.
The 33-year-old has since been released on bail with a condition banning him from Lincolnshire.
