Police warn about aggressive door-to-door solicitors

SEATTLE -- It has happened before and now police say it is happening again. Aggressive, sometimes hostile door-to-door solicitors hitting neighborhoods all over western Washington.

The latest incident happened on Magnolia near Discovery Park.

The victim says after she refused to engage the salesperson he got angry and started yelling profane, racial comments at the woman before walking away.

Police encourage people to be on the lookout for aggressive salespeople.

if you don't recognize them at your door police say acknowledge their knock so they'll know someone is home, but don't open the door if you don't know the person on the other side.
