A group of young adults was knocking on doors and aggressively pushing magazine subscriptions on residents in Grass Valley neighborhoods Thursday evening. Grass valley Police  Sergeant, Steve Johnson, says the group was from out of state and were asking questions that were making residents uncomfortable.

Johnson said that the group did not provide any resistance and appeared to move on after being contacted.
