Jehovas's Witness incident

Jehovas's Witness incident
Something that came to my attention...
Quote:Just lost my s*** with some Jehovah's Witnesses...

They came in my fucking house!
My front door was standing open, as I was mowing my front lawn, and needed to use the socket in the hall there, so I couldn't fully close the door or I'd break the cable. I wasn't going to be unplugging it and bringing it in every 2 minutes.
My front and back gardens are not linked, so to empty the mower, I have to carry the bucket of grass through the house to the back where the compost bin is.
I head back to put the bucket back in the mower, it took me less than a minute, and when I got back, two young men were standing in my hall.
Since I had no idea who they were, I panicked and screamed at them to get out of my house, like, full on, she-might-be-a-lunatic, screaming. Yes, might have been a bit of an overreaction, but it's what happened.
They tried to launch into their spiel about God etc, but I wasn't having any of it, and... screamed some more.
I guess I freaked them out, because they did leave, but stood on my doorstep and tried to talk to me some more. I waved the bucket at them, telling them to get away from my house and garden, and never come back.
When they'd moved off I brought in the mower, locked my door and had a mild freak out on the stairs.
I've just got done disinfecting the whole hall, and all the doors/handles/frames they might have touched.
I just... WTF?!
Why are they even out? They bloody shouldn't be. I didn't get their names, but I know what they look like, should I call someone? They can't just walk into peoples homes, no matter how open or closed their doors are.
Before anyone asks, I am certain they are real Jehovah's Witnesses, as I've seen them in the area before, talking to people, handing out pamphlets, and I've not opened my door to them when they knocked on my door once last year. I've never spoken to them before now though. All in all I've seen them 4 or 5 times over the last year.
UPDATE:
Since so many people have said to contact the police and the JW Hall, I've looked up the ones in my area. No one is answering at any of the Hall numbers currently, but I'll try again tomorrow. The non-emergency police call though: they're sending someone over to take a statement from me. I have a home security camera looking out each of my doors, and they want me to grab that footage for the police to view, and possibly collect as evidence? dunno right now.
They'll be round... at some point today... helpful... My neighbour stuck her head out into the back garden earlier, to see how I was. We had tea through the fence and it's helped a bit with managing my panic.
UPDATE 2?:
Spoke to the police when they came over, showed them my security footage, and it shows then watching my 2 daughters and I in the garden for about half an hour, just at the edge of frame. Seriously creepy.
Police said they were definitely trespassing, and that they'll look into things.
I emailed and left a voicemail at the KH, and I got an email reply from someone. They apologised for what had happened, told me no one was suppose to be out and about just now, and they were going to look into it.
They asked me to call first thing tomorrow, so they could try and figure out what happened, and who it was. They also said they would make sure I was put on their Do Not Call list, so thanks to the people who suggested that for me to ask about.
What they've essentially said is that, although they are closed, and gave told their people not to go visiting anyone, they have no control over their actions, and this may be a case of 2 overzealous JWs acting on their own. I get that, and it's what I suspect too.
Either way, I've got calls yo make tomorrow, so I'm making sure the house is locked up tight, and going to try and get some sleep.
