January 17, 2016

In the beginning of this month, a man went to an elderly woman’s house in the eastern part of the state saying he worked for the Water Department and he wanted to check her basement for broken water pipes.  At the time it was extremely cold outside.  While the man and woman in the basement, it’s believed another man entered the house and stole $300-400 from inside the house.  In a similar incident, a victim lost over $100,000.

Through the investigation by the police departments, a suspect vehicle may be a white Dodge Ram Truck with Illinois Temporary plates.  The vehicle had a single cab and a black or gray stripe near the bottom of the door.  Over the last several years, but especially during the bitter cold winter a couple of years ago, these agencies had  several cases of elderly victims, home alone, being targeted typically by two males (often described as Hispanic), often posing as utility workers, particularly the Water Department.

Marathon County Crime Stoppers is asking the public to check the identification cards of people saying they are utility workers who come to your residence, particularly if you didn’t ask for a service call.  If the workers appear to be suspicious, contact law enforcement and have an officer speak to them.
