Water Scam Targets Elderly




The Berrien County Sheriff's Department Crime Prevention Unit is warning about a new scam that targets elderly residents. Deputy Karen Klugg says two unknown whites’ males are gaining entry to elderly person's homes by posing as water department workers.

Listen:

   

Police are reporting incidents in Berrien Springs, Stevensville, and Watervliet. Klugg says utility workers never show up at your home without a call from you. If someone like this comes up to your door and tries to come inside under the false pretense of a water or electrical problem, meter reader or utility worker,
call 9-1-1.
