Thieves Posing as Utility Workers
January 17, 2016
Marathon County Crime Stoppers is informing you of potential thieves in the area.
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.

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.
