Burglars Posing as Landscapers Rob Elderly Woman

Rothwell Drive, 200 block, Aug. 1, 1 p.m.

About 14 rings, including a man’s gold ring with 12 diamonds, as well as $200 in cash were stolen in an apparent deception burglary scam, according to a police incident report.

A 90-year-old woman let a younger man, posing as a landscaper, into her home. The suspect, who identified himself as “Jim,” escorted the elderly homeowner to the rear facing windows of her home, while his partner went upstairs and stole the rings and cash from the woman’s bedroom.

The two suspects were described by police as white, between 17 and 18 years old, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, both with thin builds. The victim told police they were both “nicely dressed.”
