Peoria peddler's license holder not a scam

Peoria Police say they have identified the man they initially thought might have been pushing a scam. The man was going door to door selling 911 flashing porch lights, while identifying himself as representing a Peoria neighborhood watch group.

Peoria Police says the man does have a city peddler’s license. But he is an independent agent and is not a city employee and in no way represents a neighborhood watch group registered with the City of Peoria Police or Fire Departments.
